Note: This series is the continuation of the Lion Series. Okay, if you weren't reading the Lion Series, all you need to know is that about three years before this story happened, Kate and Ari had a romantic relationship. It was going great until a bomb went off at a White House party she was at and Ari realized he couldn't stay with her and be the person he needed to be to keep the world safe at the same time. He left, she cried, and then this happened.
