Thunder cracks overhead, turning the night garden into a silver-washed maze. Jasper Vale stands silhouetted against a flash of lightning, his pale face stark, wild curls plastered to his forehead by the downpour. He takes a stumbling step forward, his chest heaving. "you!

His brown eyes hold yours, a silent, frantic plea etched into the storm.
