Carefully, he lifted my foot from where it rested on his thigh, rose to his feet, made his way toward me, and settled down beside me.

They claimed that… I was out of my senses once more, that I wasn’t in my right mind… that I was losing my mind... that I’m crazy.”“Enough of your lies, Calix.

NATHALIEāS POV š-āDonāt ask for forgiveness if you cannot love me,ā hs said in a lighthearted. āI understand why your heart canāt love me. You donāt owe me an apology, and you certainly shouldnāt feel bad about it.āHe gently cupped my face. Hs eyes warm with a smile. āLetās make something nice for the children, maybe itāll lift their spirits when they wake.āāAll you need to do is get the ingredients ready,ā I teased.āWe canāt keep this up.
