That much I knew for sure. The kiss was too intense, too desperate, too, wrong. Nathan hadn't touched me in months. Not since the night everything changed. Not since the accident. He tried to pretend everything was fine, like he could still love me, like we could still be that perfect couple we used to be.

But he couldn't look past the damage. He said my eyes haunted him. He said they were lifeless now, empty like the night I went blind. You didn't have to do it, he said once, cold and sharp. I never asked you to save me. I had stepped in front of the car. That's the truth. He would have died if I hadn't.

But that didn't matter anymore. Not to him. Not to anyone. After that fight, things unraveled quickly. We screamed at each other. until we couldn't scream anymore. He told me he was done. That he was sick of carrying guilt that didn't belong to him. That he wanted to move on. Without me. It was raining when he threw me out. I had nowhere to go. I curled up behind our apartment building, soaked to the bone, shivering,

hugging myself like that could hold me together. And that's where it happened. The next morning, I woke to the sound of sirens. The alley was taped off, buzzing with voices, cops, noise. Two men were dead. The officers told me I might be the only witness. Miss Carter, one of them said, what did you see? I'm blind, I replied quietly. I didn't see anything.

They nodded like they understood. But they didn't. No one did. He's called the wraith, another officer said. A vigilante. targets people who slipped through the cracks. Unconvicted criminals. If you remember anything, anything at all, you have to let us know, but I didn't have anything to give them.

The truth is, just stepping outside had become a monumental task. My world was a tangle of shadows and sounds, and that night, it had rained so hard I could barely think, let alone listen. I'm sorry, I kept repeating. I'm sorry, that was when I felt. felt hands around my waist. Warm, firm, intimate. I gasped. My phone slipped from my fingers. Who were you talking to, sweetheart? He pressed against me, chest to back, like he belonged there. His hands skimmed beneath my nightgown, fingers brushing skin that hadn't felt warmth in too long. People say it feels better when you can't see, he whispered in my ear, his breath hot and heavy.

Is that true? His voice was so close to Nathan's it made me dizzy. But it wasn't him. Because Nathan was dead. I killed him. An hour earlier, he told me I had to go. That his new girlfriend would be moving in soon. He said it like it was no big deal.

Like we hadn't been together for years. Like I hadn't sacrificed my eyesight for him. You don't get a medal for that, he said. I didn't ask you to be a martyr. I begged. I cried. I reminded him of who we were, what we had. But he was cold, detached. Tired. I'm over it, Alina. People break up all the time. Even married couples split. You think we're special. I stood there, blind and broken, listening to the man I once thought would never leave me say he was done. He was everything to me. My home. My safety. My future. And suddenly, I had none of those things. When I ran out of money,

spending it all on surgeries, medications, failed treatments, he stopped pretending to care. He stopped trying. The guy who used to cry when I got paper cuts now rolled his eyes when I bumped into furniture. At a dinner with college friends, I knocked over a wine glass. He didn't help. didn't laugh it off. He snapped in front of everyone. Jesus, Alina. That bag costs more than your rent. Can you try not to ruin everything?

Everyone went quiet. I laughed it off, pretending I wasn't dying inside. But that moment was a crack in the dam. It all came flooding out after that. One night, he threw my suitcase into the hallway. Told me to go. I stumbled over the couch trying to grab it He didn't even flinch

I just remember the raid. I remember the feel of it in my hand. I remember the screaming. His. Mine. And then the silence. The metallic smell of blood hit me like a wave. It brought me back. I didn't think. I didn't plan. I just acted. I scrubbed the floor. I hid his body under the bed. I washed my hands. Changed clothes. answered the phone like everything was fine. I told myself I could pull it off. That no one would find out. But then, the door opened. And now, someone else was here. The man held me like he owned me, like we've been lovers forever.

His kisses were urgent, claiming, I couldn't breathe. If he wanted to kill me, he could have done it already. He had me. I was blind. Helpless. Easy. So why was he kissing me? I stepped back and felt something sharp under my foot. I screamed. Blood pooled around me. Easy, he said, crouching down. There's broken glass. Why aren't you wearing shoes? I didn't answer. My whole body was shaking.

Relax, he said, brushing my foot. You're safe with me, safe. With a strange, stranger in my house. He lifted me into his arms like I weighed nothing and carried me to the couch. I felt the world spinning beneath me. What do you want? I asked, my voice a rasp. He didn't answer. Instead, he leaned close and whispered, you're not alone anymore, Alina. I've been watching, that chilled me more than anything. He knew my name. I saw what you did, he said. My blood froze. He knew. I saw him hurt you, he continued. You did what had to be done. I swallowed hard. Are you, the wraith? I asked. He chuckled. People love giving names to things they don't understand. Did you kill those men in the alley? I punished them, he said simply. They deserved it. My hands trembled in my lap. What do you want for me? He sat beside me, gently, lifting my hand to his lips. To help you. Protect you. Love you, I jerked away. This is insane. You think anyone else is coming to save you, he said quietly. You think the world cares,

tears streamed down my face. I didn't mean to kill him, I whispered. You did what he forced you to do. You survived. His fingers brushed my cheek. I've seen you cry yourself to sleep. I've heard him at you. I've watched you walk into walls, struggle to cook, burn your fingers trying to light a stove. You're stronger than anyone knows. How long have you been watching me? Since the night in the alley, the silence stretched. Then he added, I won't leave you. Not like he did. I didn't know what to think. Was this my savior?
