The Healer | Part 3: The Survivors
'You can't just leave me and then come back a year later and assume nothing's changed!' I turned angrily to him. We were running out of Alley, I was practically running, I was so furious.
'I thought you loved me, did those ten months mean nothing to you?' He spat at me. I froze in my tracks.
'They meant everything to me!' I turned and yelled, wiping tears from my face again.

The war is over. Edith Falconer should be relieved that she can finally come out of hiding and carry on with her life as normal.
But what is normal? So much was lost during the war. Good friends have died and almost her entire family is gone, she's not quite sure where her place in the world is anymore. And now George Weasley, the one man she thought she could depend on, is nowhere to be found. At least she's able to go to Healing school, that was her dream, after all. But now, it's a distraction from reality as well.
When George suddenly returns and threatens to upset the delicate balance of her life, she's forced to deal with not only her own losses, but his as well.
Were the feelings that developed during their period of isolation real or was it all just a clever illusion? Will George even stay, or will being back prove to be too difficult? And will an unexpected event threaten to destroy them both?
The third and final instalment of The Healer Series. It's not necessary to read the first two parts, but it will make a bit more sense if you do.
