Lyra
I watched the helicopter fade into the distance.
I moved from the window and sat on the bed, suddenly overwhelmed with everything that had happened today.
Waking up in a whole new place. Liam’s surprise. His confession after. The revelation of the people after me. And the ring. I lifted my hand, staring at the finger where the silver band had sat and burned earlier.
I took in deep breaths.
I just had to be calm.
I looked for my phone. I needed to reassure myself that I wasn't excluded from the outside world.
I found it and looked for Sophie’s contact. I needed to hear her voice, and I needed her to know that I was okay.
My thumb hovered over the call button for a long time, then I pressed it and waited for her to pick up.
“Lyra?” Her voice came through almost immediately
