“You always said you cared the most about our brothers and me. So if this is our home, then it’s your home too. How could you just never come back again?” Alyssa asked, holding onto her brother’s hand. Her heart hurt so deeply.

Axel gazed at his beloved sister, then gently cupped her cheek. “Of course, I love you guys. I’ll love you guys wherever I go. But this isn’t home anymore. I’ve fulfilled my promise to you, Lyse. You wouldn’t still be upset with me because of it, right?”

Alyssa nodded slowly, suddenly feeling like crying.
