VALERIE

Two Months Later...

Shelby died exactly one week after her wedding day, it broke my heart knowing I could do nothing. Something as doctors we often face, we try our best, but it still doesn't mean we can work miracles.

My only solace is that she spent her last days surrounded by her loved ones and passed away in the middle of the night in Hugh's arms.

We all felt it. Hugh took it hard, but Atticus took it the worst. He drowned himself in work and right now I wished he had Adriana by his side, but with everything going on Zade is right. They need to find their way to one another by their own means

Life is so so so short to hold on to grudges. We visited often, especially since Ada was in no state to move, and the doctors and I advised against it. She's being given the best treatment she can get, better than what one would in a hospital where germs run rampant. But she is not improving and I don't think she will.

Adriana and Atticus have had run-ins on these visits, and I can only hope that soon they can move past this stage of wanting one another but having far too many issues to be able to.

But what I have learned from my own love story is it will happen if it is meant to, when the time is right.
