Julianna's voice was flat, but her fingers interlocked more tightly with the other Watcher's. She'd have come apart by now if it wasn't for Edmund, even though she didn't feel as if she deserved his comfort. If she had married him all those years ago when he asked, she might have been entitled to solace from him, but he wasn't her husband, he was simply her closest friend.
She dreaded returning to London, because he couldn't protect her there. There was going to be an official inquiry into her charge's death. She didn't know what she'd do if they fired her. But then again, she wasn't sure that wasn't what she deserved.
