Chapter 61

Fox didn’t move. There were officials standing around him and Joanne was saying that everything was okay now, yet Fox couldn’t quite believe it. Had they actually won? Fox had been telling everyone all along that they could beat the odds, that they had to tryto do something, because not trying would guarantee failure. Fox had said that, but he hadn’t really believed it. He’d just thought that trying and losing was better than letting them win without a struggle.

They’d won, though. He hadn’t been expecting that at all.

He’d remained still for so long, and Joanne stepped to his side and took his elbow. “Come on,” she murmured, and tugged him toward King. “I’ll go first.”

King stood still, closing his eyes as Joanne touched their foreheads together. For a moment, nothing happened. Fox feared that, after all they’d accomplished, they’d done something wrong, and King would never get back his memories.
