Everett watched her silently for a long time before he finally spoke up, his voice slow and deliberate. "But... what if, and I'm just saying what if, the verdict isn't what you're hoping for?" Like, say, only Heather gets the death sentence.

"I'm not comfortable with leaving you to handle this alone." "If you keep getting involved, you'll never have peace of mind."
