CLOSE TO HIM, page 18
She thought about the case, about David’s tragic path and Josephine’s cold vengeance. She thought about Brennan, who would live out his days in a federal prison, finally stripped of the power he had abused. She thought about the survivors, like the couple at the school, who were still finding ways to heal.
There was no neat, perfect resolution. Justice was not a destination; it was a direction. A constant, difficult striving toward balance. She finally understood what her grandmother meant, what her mother had been searching for. It wasn't about erasing the past or vanquishing all the monsters. It was about learning to stand on wounded ground and still have the strength to plant something new.
She looked up at the stars, a brilliant, scattered dust of diamonds against the velvet black. The world was full of stories, full of ghosts. But for the first time in a long time, she felt ready to listen to them without fear.
She was no longer walking two separate paths. She was finally, completely, on her own.
And she was home.
