Chapter 148: A grey sky
The sky is oddly grey today.
Coco stood by the window, gazing at the morning sky, her eyes drinking in the breathtaking sight.
The sun was rising just above the horizon, casting the sky in a beautiful array of colors; pinks, golds, and blues meshed together— casting a soft, warm glow over the village below.
Although, despite the sky being a stunning mixture of pinks, blues, and oranges, the colors blend together in a magnetizing painting, Coco could only stare blankly with her heart feeling empty.
It was a moment of peace and tranquility, a reminder that she must start her day with her usual routine of taking a bath, taking her packed meals from the pub’s kitchen, and going on her merry way out to the forest.
However, the woman merely stood there, her gaze fixed on the sky as she watched the sun’s morning rays slowly chase away the stars.
She usually starts her day as soon as she wakes up, not wanting to dwell too much on her thoughts that she keeps pushing away out of fear of being numb— the mere thought of her mother and sisters waiting at home makes her feel empty.
She watched silently as a bird perched on a tree branch in front of the window, carrying something on its beak and jumping towards its nest.
A couple of small heads poked out of the nest, reaching out for the adult bird’s beak eagerly.
