No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

"Ah!" The sensation of falling sent a scream tearing through my throat.

"Felicia!" I heard someone call out. It had to be Conrad because Ernest only ever calls me Licia.

But I was powerless, my only actions were cursing at Brown and shouting for Conrad, "Conrad, Conrad..."
