Chapter 190
A voice as gentle as a dream floated through the air.
And something warm touched her face.
Carynne, eyes closed, welcomed the sensation. Theres only one person who would awaken her this way. Raymond always came with a warm towel to gently cleanse her face, slowly, tenderly.
Have you returned?
Yes, Carynne. Im back.
But I thought Im Carrie?
Thats only when Mister Verdic is around.
Raymonds eyes crinkled into a smile. Her vision still blurry, Carynne smiled back towards the twinkling green hue of his eyes.
Raymonds hair was a mess, falling forward, making him look more like a boy than a soldier.
A boy. My boy. Truthfully, he always smiled like that when in love. After all the memories resurfaced, his smile always seemed tinged with fatigue, aging him slightly. Time had etched into his laughter.
But now, his face seemed more relaxed than ever. Carynne smiled anew at this unexpected joy.
