Chapter 114: To Dust And To Ground
>>Amber
My lips brushed against his. I was drawn in and I was going to kiss him.
But then, a sudden surge of reality hit me. What am I doing? This is not the time or place for this! I thought, pulling back slightly.
I averted my face. And that’s when I noticed something. I noticed the dress Hael was holding onto, the rain wasn’t drenching it
!?
He had a protection spell on it. It didn’t allow the rain to soak it or the soil to dirty it.
I looked back at him and despite the turmoil inside me, I tightened my grip on his cheeks, trying to anchor us both in this moment. The rain continued to fall, but the intensity of it calmed down a little
I think deep down, Hael knew his mother did love him. That’s why he’s so shattered.
I knew my father and brother in this world didn’t love me, infact, I’m well aware how hated I was. So even when they died I didn’t feel anything for them. Maybe I would have craved their attention if it wasn’t for my family in the real world.
I let his cheeks go and hugged him tighter, trying to ground myself. The rain continued to fall, but it couldn’t wash away the turmoil inside me. We stayed like that, two souls clinging to each other.
As the rain began to slow down, Helena stepped beside me, "What just happened?" I asked her as I turned to look at her without breaking the hug.
