Lilly had certainly been no angel, but she hadn't been a devil either. She'd just been Lilly Kane—spoiled, saucy, oversexed, big-hearted, and hilarious Lilly. And now, it was time for Veronica to really say good-bye.

Lilly's murderer had been caught; her spirit was no longer doomed to walk the earth—she could move on. Not to heaven because heaven wouldn't know what to do with her. But not to hell either. Instead, to some place warm and hazy where the air smelled of grass clippings and water lilies floated in backyard pools.

All Veronica could do was lift a hand in farewell as Lilly Kane, her best friend, faded from her sight.
