Winter locks eyes with Cinder at the exact moment the bomb goes off. It’s not an ending, and it’s certainly not a beginning of any kind, but it feels important to look for her. Acknowledge her, maybe.

If Cinder notices her looking, she certainly doesn’t show it. She gives Winter a sideways glance that could maybe be mistaken for something before she turns away, aura amplified high enough to withstand the blast. Winter finds herself wishing she would look again, if only to know she wasn’t imagining things — if only to know the warmth in her eyes she saw all the way back when they were kids was real.

//

She files a report that completely skims over the presence of potential agents of Salem in Mantle. She visits the memorial every day as a reminder of her monumental failure, a symbol of every single wrong step she took up until this point. She resolves to be better, because that’s all she can do, and on the one month anniversary of the attack she dedicates the last of the funds her father gave her, all those years ago, to helping with the rebuild effort.

She doesn’t see Cinder again. She doesn’t think she could. She doesn’t think Cinder would even let her look in the first place, and she’s sick of wanting so badly to try.

And, fuck, she misses her.
