Seated silently in her empty bedroom, surrounded by a void of darkness, Delia hugged her thighs to her chest, staring vaguely at the snake tank while seated at the foot of the bed.
Her body and clothes from her neck below was covered in dried blood. His blood. Damien's blood.
Her eyes looked lost and far from reality as she continued to watch the reptile slither in its tank. A single tear couldn't drop from Delia's eyes.
Her mind replayed the very words that numbed her heart and soul.
The most tragic words that struck her entire world down.
"Wh... What?" Delia breathed, feeling her knees go weak as she took a step back from the surgeon that stood before her in the hospital building.
