Chapter 395

Brandon held her for ages, feeling a peace he hadn't felt in forever. He didn't want to let her go, and honestly, he didn't plan to.

He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he'd last watched the sunset or simply observed the passerby.

After a while, Brandon finally let go of Sophia, but not entirely. Instead, he just gazed at her quietly.
