Chapter 53 : You Remind me of a Girl

**Ellis POV

I embraced familiar waves of loss and sadness as I walked around Nancy’s perfectly preserved room. At the piano, I picked up her sheet music and let my eyes flow over the notes. It was a very complex piece, but she’d always played it so perfectly.

Setting the pages back in their place, I went to Nancy’s portrait and looked her over.

“If only I’d been able to protect you from them,” I murmured, reaching out to touch her but stopped short, pulling my hand back. “Years have passed, but I finally know how to avenge you and destroy the Klein’s.”

A smile tugged at my lips as I gazed at her portrait. She was a hard face to forget and I knew a part of me would remember her for the rest of my life.

“You know, I met someone. She’s a lot like you but she’s very different in many unexpected ways. It is what makes her so refreshingly different that I love so much,” I said softly.
