287 Suspected Predicament

A long silence passed between Kieran and Illiad. During this time, Kieran watched as Illiad resolved her inner turmoil by progressing in her grief. Once she took this step, she wiped away the tears staining her cheeks. 

It was pain like no other to see her lost love one final time but it also provided an undeniable sense of closure to know that even in death, her soulmate had not forgotten about her.

'A bittersweet yet picturesque moment that you can't help but cherish,' Kieran thought to himself.

He watched as Illiad inhaled deeply then released a hitched sigh. "It won't happen overnight, but you will come to regain pieces of yourself over time. When it gets hard, just think back to the joy shared between you two and if that proves insufficient… then remember his final words."

"I will," Illiad nodded.
