If he was here, it meant he was done hiding. ‘And so am I.’ She sighed with relief and turned her attention back to the flower pot. “Do you think it’ll be this flower?” It’d take years before this one bloomed for the first time, but she thought he’d like to be closer to home. “I think so,” if only because she was taking care of it herself, Ler thought that Nox’s soul, who sacrificed his own life for her sake, would probably like to be close to her during his long sleep. “You will know when it blooms.”

The plate rack was placed right before the cooker. Dappled sunlight trickled into the kitchen through the window blinds. At the extreme end of the kitchen cabinet were two flower vases filled with blooming jasmines. I had made sure to water them that morning.
