COMMENT Chapter 100

The following five days were spent searching for, and often Ending, healing. Truthfully. Kylan hadn't been certain how he would feel by corning back to where his mother spent her sheth. He was pleasantly surprised how much he loved being here, feeling far closer to his mother's memory than perhaps he ever had.

Kylan was certain Katrina's calm, reassuring presence had a big hand in the way Kylan responded, and in the genuine peace he was able to find. Shr was patient with him. Loving Understanding. Taking everything at his pace, his comfort level. He knew she understood how much this meant to him. How special a trip like this was, and it was obvious she didn't take any single moment for granted.

With Katrina by his side, Kylan felt strong. He felt powerful, but not in a loud, boastful way. But rather a quiet, sobering way. The same way he wanted to hold Katrina, protect her from the world. From anything that could possibly dim the light, the radiance that encompassed that magical woman he was lucky, so very lucky to get to love every damn day of his life.

She really did look beautiful. Perfect, in the eyes of Kylan.

Five minutes later, they walked hand in hand to a bistro not far from their hotel. The conversation flowed easily, just as it always did now, as they reflected on the memories from their trip so far.

Katrina gushed about seeing his mother's old stomping grounds, mentioning how she loved her desire to spend time nearest the water.

Kylan watched her speak; his eyes focused on her animated features with nothing but love. Love he no longer tried to keep hidden. To hide away. He didn't care if the world could see how smitten he was with this woman. He hadn't cared for a long time, if he were able to be honest with himself.
