Carter was never a man of many words. When we were together, he was often silent, watching me with a soft gaze.

But today, when I couldn't offer him any response, he surprised me by speaking more than usual.

I didn't know where he was driving, but in that moment, I felt a strange sense of calm wash over me.

Even if no one else could hear me, even if it felt like the world had left me behind, I had him.

He was my everything.

"Chloe, you used to be so afraid of me. Maybe it was because I never smiled much. After we started being together, I didn't want to scare you, so I practiced smiling on my own."

"I'll never forget the day you walked into the Boltons' cold, lifeless attic, holding your dress. You looked so beautiful, like a little fairy."

"Every time you came to the Boltons, I watched you from the shadows. I felt so small, like a worm in the dark, too far from someone as bright as you. When I saw how close you were getting to Luke, I decided to leave, to let you be happy. But when I saw you again, I found the light in your eyes was gone. It hurt. I wanted to take you away, but you didn't even see me anymore."

"Chloe, since you disappeared, I've cursed myself every day. I should have taken you with me. I never want to feel the pain of losing you again."

When the car finally stopped at the base of Mount Spiritus, a sudden realization hit me.

I looked at him, panic rising in my chest. "Carter, no! Don't go! It's too cold, you can't do this!"

Carter kept his gaze fixed on the empty night ahead. "Chloe, I'm not afraid of spirits or gods. The only. thing I'm afraid of is losing you."

"You once prayed for Penelope's protection, and she got better."

"You also prayed for Luke, and he got out of the earthquake fine."

"Even if it's just an old legend, if it could bring you back, I'd give up anything-even my legs. I would do in without a second thought. He stepped out of the car, and I rushed to follow him.

Though it was early spring, the night still carried a biting chill.

The snowflakes falling on Mount Spiritus were heavier than anywhere else, the altitude making everything feel more intense.

Carter, just as I had done once before, bowed and prayed every single step of the way, his devotion. undeniable.
