When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Calvin looked into her eyes. His throat tightened. “Alright,” he said.

The two of them simply stood outside the door, enjoying the cool evening breeze.

“How is Martha doing recently?”

“She’s been okay. I just need to bring all of you back as soon as possible.”

Cecilia frowned in concern. “I want to return soon as well, but Eli’s illness must be treated.”

“We understand,” Calvin said, looking down at her. “Don’t worry. Everything will be okay.”

Cecilia nodded, unsure.
