Akaza Snowflake 소설 & 이야기

However, the truth was, my name had been cleared. I took care of everything and sold the old house, ready to leave it all behind. Hank sent word he wanted to meet, but I did not want to see him. Outside, the snowmen stood like silent guests waiting for a wedding that would never happen. Nancy, with hands purple from the cold, drew a smile on a snowman's face. She smiled at me, just a little. She looked the same as always, but she seemed really tired. When I opened the door, she ran right into my arms.

A black maybach was parked directly in front of the hospital and she could already guess who it was. Truthfully, Malcolm climbed out of the car and he had a bouquet of flowers with him. “Hey” she said awkwardly. “This is for you” he handed her the flower and she collected it and sniffed it. “They’re beautiful, thank you” “Shall we?” Aurora hesitated for a moment, she had a feeling someone was watching her keenly. “Nervous?” Malcolm asked in concern when he noticed the look on her face. “Kind off”

She grabbed my hand and pulled me outside. The snow fell in large, soft flakes in a silence that felt vast and grand. We walked side by side beneath the streetlights, the thick snow crunching underfoot. "Are you cold?" Amelia asked me. "No." I shook my head. Inside, my heart was warm. Suddenly, Amelia stopped and turned to face me. "Charlie," she said seriously, "there's something I've been wanting to tell you." I looked at her. Snowflakes fell on her hair, eyelashes, and shoulders. Her eyes sparkled, like they were filled with starlight.

Closing the door, I said my gratitude and Kate waved at me before driving off. I walked into the building and rushed to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, the person inside held it up and I finally got in. I muttered a quick thanks and dropped my gaze to the small brown box with white decorative swirls designed on it. I couldn't wait to see Higan and knowing that he could be up in a few minutes turned my stomach into knots. If he doesn't scream in joy after seeing me, I'll tell him to go back and do it again.
