He quickly got back in his car and drove to the cemetery.When he arrived, it was already dark.
He walked quickly through the rows of graves, his eyes scanning for any sign of her. But as he reached the grave, it was clear she wasn't there either.
Cameron felt a sinking despair. He knelt by the grave, his fingers brushing the headstone gently.
"Ava," he whispered into the quiet air, "where are you?"
He stayed there for a long time, his thoughts swirling with regret and sorrow. He knew he had pushed her away with his actions, and now she was gone.
The gravity of his mistakes weighed heavily on him, and he realised just how much he stood to lose.
As it was getting late in the night, Cameron finally stood up, his resolve hardening. He couldn't give up on her, on them. He would search every corner of the city if he had to, and he wouldn't rest until he found her.
