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

Instinctively, she avoided him. “Nicholas, how come you’re here?”

The polite greeting left Nicholas‘ hand frozen in mid–air, only retracting after a considerable delay.

“I saw the news report, and that’s how I found out something happened to Martha. You once mentioned that she’s as important to you as your own mother. I knew you’d be devastated by her passing, so I came to check on you.”

Nicholas looked at her face, frozen to a purplish hue, her eyes rimmed red. How can she still pretend like nothing’s wrong?

“You don’t have to be so strong in front of me. I’ve told you before, I’ll always be by your side.”

Cecilia merely gave a slight nod, unsure of how to respond to him.

After a prolonged silence, she said, “I’m heading home.”

“I’ll take you there,” replied Nicholas immediately.
