Chapter 192

Friday morning, I woke up ridiculously early and spent a couple of restless hours going through a stack of books from the House library containing mentions of Bookworms and bamahs. Rafael had his own homework searching through the Attendant archives on the subjects.

Speaking of my teammate, I'd texted him with an offer to buy breakfast while we compared findings, but he'd asked to meet later, because he was visiting Gavriella's grave. Levi's people had taken away her body after she'd died in my arms and once he'd found out her name, he'd arranged for her to be buried in one of the Jewish cemeteries here under her alias of Gavriella Behar.

I'd only learned this fact from Rafael who visited the cemetery often, claiming it comforted him to sit with her. He'd asked me to come along but I felt uncomfortable intruding on his private time with the woman who had been like a sister to him. Nor was I ready to face the grave of my predecessor.
