Please forgive thy author for putting thy reader up with this. But... DO NOT PURCHASE THE CHAPTER IF IT'S LABELED AS EDITED. Unfortunately, the author is still in a hitch and she's still editing the chapters before this one. She would need your understanding with her circumstances. Thank you.

Playing in the darkness, carefree and happy, with only the lamps providing their eyes with guidance- Leila envied them. And for a moment, she watched them.
And Mitchel watched with her.
