Norgate had been conquered. All that remained was the cleanup and reconstruction.
Naturally, none of this had anything to do with Paige Summers.
She was preparing to return to Central City.
When she mentioned it to Kiera Walsh, the other woman wasn't surprised. Kiera gave her and Marcus Monroe a large number of Crystal Cores and supplies, and she implicitly mentioned that she would be sure to support Bloodfall.
Paige Summers smiled and thanked her.
It was always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Although Shawn Monroe was still comatose more often than he was conscious, he had been saved. Kiera's gratitude was genuine. Paige could tell.
As for Marcus Monroe…
He hadn't spoken to her since yesterday, when she had suggested they separate and frankly told him what was on her mind.
This was more or less what she expected.
She felt helpless but could only let him be.
