| told him everything.
Everything.
Even the stuff that | didn’t want to think about ever again.
Over the next twenty minutes, | told Noah my entire story from beginning to end-from the moment | watched my
baby’s embryo in a puddle on the floor to this very moment here, now, in this courtroom.
| told him, too, about the three months of torture that he and Zoe had putthrough before my death. About
Zoe's smear campaign, about the nights spent crying myself to sleep, about the worsening body image issues.
| told him about my pill addiction-how | was taking them to the point of killing myself.
“And... Maybe | wanted to kill myself,” | whispered, my hands trembling as | toyed with the hem of my shirt,

if it was the diet pills themselves or the contraceptives in them that didin.”
| swallowed hard and continued. “But when | saw my baby-our baby-on the floor, a little red clump of blood and
flesh, | knew | wanted to live. | wanted to live, Noah. But it was too late. | was already dying... Or so | thought.”
And finally, | told him about waking up on the bathroom floor three months before all of that had happened. The
confusion, the uncertainty, the relief and the terror.
I told him how he stepped out of the shower, his dark hair falling into his eyes, and how | had thought that he
was the most beautiful man | had ever seen and yet | hated him for what he had done before I'd died.
And | told him how, in those moments, | knew | needed to get away from him and Zoe if my baby was going to
survive.
To my surprise, Noah listened. He didn’t interrupt once, didn’t mock me, didn’t challengethe entire t|
spoke. He just... listened while | recounted everything | could remember over the past year.
When | was finally finished, | was breathless and exhausted. Noah was still standing in front of me, his eyes wide
and his face pale.
“And that’s my whole story,” | finished quietly, my voice trembling. “A year ago, | died after enduring three
months of misery. But | cback. But here | am now. Alive and... changed.”
Noah was silent.
But | could see the disbelief creeping into his stunned expression, and panic began to rise in my throat. My
hands began to shake, and | clutched at his arms, desperate for him to understand.
“Please,” | begged, “don’t think that I'm just messing with you or that I'm insane. | genuinely believe that the
Moon Goddess gaveanother chance for a reason, although...” | paused, biting my lip. “I don’t know what that
reason might be yet. Maybe I'll never know.”
Without a word, Noah slowly sat down on a nearby bench, his eyes wide and unfocused. He still didn’t

deafening, broken only by the sound of my rapid heartbeat rushing through my own ears.

When he still didn’t speak for a long while, tears began to well up in my eyes, blurring my vision.
“I'm sorry,” | whispered, my voice cracking. “I'll leave now. | think I've embarrassed myself enough.”
| turned to go, my cheeks burning with shame, but suddenly Noah caught my wrist. His touch sent a jolt through
me, and before | could react, he pulledback and kisseddeeply. His lips were warm and insistent against
mine, and | melted against him-or maybe that was just my knees buckling with relief.
When we finally parted, | stared at him in shock, my breath coming in short gasps. “You... you believe me?” |
asked, hardly daring to hope.
Noah hesitated for a moment but then nodded slowly, his hand coming up to cup my cheek. “I do. It’s... it's hard
to wrap my head around it, but | want to believe you, Hannah. Everything you told me... It makes sense, as crazy
as it sounds.”
