THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO

Gael led the way to a corridor that was made of glass, so the sunlight would enter and illuminate every dark corner of this place.

They were no longer inside the culverts and this place looked more like a normal house and at the end of this corridor, there was a brown wooden door.

Gael stopped walking right in front of that door and turned around to look at River, who was holding her breath, as if she already knew what he was going to say to her.

"Your mother is behind this door." Gael put his hand on the doorknob and then turned around to look at his daughter, who did not say anything. She bit her bottom lip, which Gael recognized as Lise's habit whenever she felt nervous. "Are you ready?"

River fiddled with her fingers and then nodded. She took a step closer toward Gael and stood right behind him.
