I never meant to kill them.

I was typing a message—just a stupid text to a coworker—when the truck hit us. The impact threw me through the windshield. I survived. Sarah didn’t. Neither did the six strangers in the other car.

A year later, I’ve given pieces of myself to four people. A lung lobe to Ben. Part of my liver to Holly. A kidney to George. Bone marrow to Nicholas. Two more to go.

Now I’m sitting in my motel room, the aquarium light glowing faintly. The box jellyfish pulses in its tank—my final tool. I’ve found the last two: Ezra, the blind pianist, and Emily, the woman who prints greeting cards by hand.

I didn’t plan to fall in love.

But I have.

And that makes what I have to do even harder.
