“Do you know why wildflowers are the most beautiful blossoms of all, my son?”
Dain shook his little head.
Soft waxen curls blew forward in the breeze as she lifted her storm-gray eyes to gaze out over the sea of petals. “Wildflowers are the loveliest of all because they grow in uncultivated soil, in those hard, rugged places where no one expects them to flourish. They are resilient in ways a garden bloom could never be. People are the same, son—the most exquisite souls are those who survive where others cannot. They root themselves, along with their companions, wherever they are, and they thrive.”

“This isn’t black and white, Luke,” Dash said. “Never will be. There’s justice for Scarlett. She holds no blame here. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can’t balance the scales. You’ll go crazy if you try because there’s no such thing. We live in a gray world and you’ve got to pick the shade closest to white. So do what your heart tells you.”
