Maybe all the tears were gone forever.

Jacob came to her, took her hands. He almost kissed her. Then he glanced up at the hill, where the Wells house stood dark and brooding, as if remembering some memory tucked in a far, dusty closet. The first flickers teased the windows, and smoke drifted on the air. Davidson and her crew would be on the way soon, late as always, left to sift through the ashes of the Wells family secrets.

He reached into the car, grabbed the wrinkled pack of cigarettes, and stuffed one in his mouth. He lit it, then reached under the seat and pulled out a beer. Warm, it sprayed foam all over his pants when he pulled the tab. He reached up and tapped the twin rubber heads, sending them swinging.

Just like Joshua. He looks just like his brother.

And on the heels of that thought came another, rising bright and strong from the murk of her confusion.

What if we killed the wrong one?

But maybe there was no right one.

Renee looked over the rail. In the gloom, she could barely make out the broken form on the rocks below.

“Oh, God, Jake, he’s moving. He’s still alive!”

Jacob ran to the railing, cigarette smoke pluming from his mouth along with his whispered “Shit.”

He leaned over, straining against the darkness. “I don’t see nothing.”

“I do,” she said. “I see it all now.”

The wrench was heavy. But she managed. Oh, yes, she managed.

The crunch was subdued, like hitting a bag of ice wrapped in a towel. Jacob gave a small bleat of surprise and collapsed onto the rail, head and arms trailing over the far side.

She didn’t check his pulse. She didn’t want to touch him. If he took a long time to die, he deserved it.

She patted her belly.

She’d never mentioned it to Jacob. Three months along.

Whether it was Jacob’s or Joshua’s, she would never know.

But it didn’t matter. One Wells was as good as another.

And a Wells never fails.

As she headed up the dirt road to free Carlita, she glanced at the house, the orange flames now rising to heaven in a wavering thread.

I love you, Mattie. I love you, Christine.

She was relieved to see the burning house blur in her vision.

She was still human, if only barely.

As long as she could cry, there was hope for her yet.

Renee staggered across a land long polluted and ruined, tears streaming down her cheeks. The tears wouldn’t wash away the past, but they might clear her vision for the future.

She had a child to raise.

One last chance.
