Rose had thought that finishing her task, that giving Dimitri what she knew he wanted would lessen the ache in her heart. It hadn't. If anything, it had just made it worse. She knew that when he was Strigoi, he hadn't been himself. But she'd almost convinced herself that there was part of him that was still the man she loved. As long as he was walking and talking, even if he wasn't really alive, she could delude herself into believing so.
Not anymore. Now he was gone, by her hand, and the world seemed so...empty. She was broken. It felt like half of her soul had died with him, and she was nearly certain that she'd never be complete again.
She wouldn't just lay down and die, of course. She'd go back to St. Vlad's, maybe even finish school. Guard Lissa. Maybe get killed by Strigoi in some brave way that would make her mother proud. But it wouldn't mean anything. Nothing would, not anymore.
It didn't take her very long to find Lissa, and she forced a smile when she saw her best friend. There were still issues between them concerning her leaving, but right now, they didn't seem to matter.
"Hey," she said softly. "You're looking good."
Rose herself wasn't. But she didn't care much about that, either.
