Beneath the dark, stormy sky, thunder rumbled like a giant's growl, echoing through the air. Sheets of rain poured down relentlessly, soaking Adam and Mariah, who stood side by side before three graves.

Together.” The rain began to fall harder, turning the ground beneath them to mud.

As Elizabeth sits on the couch, gazing out at the heavy rain, she can't help but see it as a reflection of the misery that resides within her heart. The relentless downpour outside mirrors the torrent of emotions that she has been grappling with since the painful revelation of Tristan's betrayal.

I need to escape before it happens. Shrouded in a dark, pain-filled world of my own, I don’t even realize that it’s raining until my hoodie is completely soaked through. Startled, I look up, shocked at the heavy downpour. It’s raining cats and dogs and I’m still a long way from the Hope Fortress. No, I can’t go back there just yet. If I go back, Bhyron will definitely return soon and I’m not ready to face him. I’m still too battered to face him.

By evening, she felt the old weight pressing at her shoulders — expectations, responsibilities, the endless hum of leadership. She found Calvin in her kitchen, attempting to cook something that smelled dangerously experimental. “I need air,” she declared dramatically. He glanced at her, amused. “Define air.” “Salt. Waves.
