    Summary

    “For what it’s worth…” Trinity says. “I didn’t kiss you to mess with you.”

    Victoria should probably be embarrassed of how fast she turns around. “Really?”

    It starts on the night of Victoria's twenty-first.

    Summary

    “I think everyone deserves a second chance. Not a fifth or a fourth or even a third, but just one more shot at making things right. And I guess I’m sorta hoping she’s yours.” — or, if Jane hadn’t lost his entire family to Red John.

    Summary

    She’s so disoriented by her own sadness, so unfamiliar with it after months of unbridled joy, that she doesn’t hear Cho walk up beside her.

    “Where’s Jane going?”

    “Someplace nice apparently,” she says bitterly, trying to subtly wipe the tears off her cheeks without him seeing.

    “What does that mean?”

    “It means he’s a coward.”

    Cho doesn’t say anything to that for a moment, just studies her carefully before finally settling on, “Let’s go get a drink.”

    Summary

    The expression on his face is inscrutable. “Excuse me?”

    “Your wife,” Lisbon repeats. “Have you been in contact with her spirit?”

    Patrick stares at her unblinkingly for several seconds. Then his breath rushes out of him like the air out of a deflating balloon. His shoulders slump. “Teresa, I’m not a psychic, I never was.”

    “But,” her protest is instinctual, “you spoke with my mother.”

    Teresa Lisbon was sixteen years old when she met Patrick at a carnival on the outskirts of Chicago. Now, at thirty-two, Patrick reappears at her job, grieving the loss of his wife and child to serial killer Red John and completely oblivious to the existence of their fifteen-year-old daughter.
