There was no difference in how Zephyr acted and looked in the consecutive days without Fredric’s news, but Cordelia knew the turmoil he was in. She did not know how to comfort him.

The man wanted to be strong so much that he had never brought along any negative emotions to her. He was always the gentle and smiling husband before her.
