Chapter 675
Snowflakes
“Miss Snow, Kim is awake but he is not really stable. Will you come to check on him?”
The text from Tally V woke me that morning, and I went completely still.
Kim is awake?
Finished
I threw off the duvet and rushed to the bathroom, heart racing. I had to see him, had to ask the few crucial questions that could finally tie everything together before we stepped back into court.
After a quick shower, I hurried to my closet, dressed in a rush, grabbed my bag, and headed to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator for a drink when the doorbell rang.
I paused, turning slowly toward the door.
It was a brand-new year. Bright, fresh, full of possibility. Cupid and I had been seen together openly for weeks now, no longer hiding our affection.
The case was nearly closed. Tomorrow we’d return to H.O.W.L. Cupid had already told me he’d be at Godlike for an important meeting, so who could this be?

“But you can’t do this, Snow. I won’t take up much of your time, please.” She took a shaky step forward, swallowing hard. “Just a few words, and we’ll be on our way.”
I didn’t budge from the doorway. I stood firm, waiting to hear whatever she thought she could say.
“I uh…” She faltered when she realized I wouldn’t open the door wider. “Snow, I’ve come to beg you. Please… why don’t you drop the case?”
I raised an eyebrow, genuinely confused. Which case? The one everyone was talking about? The one that
