"I don't want to leave you in this condition," Santiago said, looking at her stomach. They were left with a little time until the baby comes.n
"I have everyone caring for me here. But if you don't go today, you will regret not going for the rest of your life," Persephone replied in a shaky voice. "I don't want you to have any regrets. You will have to live with one more regret for the rest of your life, Santiago. Don't stop today."
Santiago nodded and pecked her nose. She was right. He had a pile of regrets already. It was time he ended them and he would do this starting from today. He picked up the bag already packed for him.
"Let me see you off, " Persephone urged.
Santiago agreed to her simple request and helped her to stand up on the floor. Clutching his hand in hers, she walked with him to the entrance.
"Take care," Santiago said, kissing her temple.
Persephone nodded, teary-eyed.
