Rose sat by the river while Rion lay on her lap, enjoying every second of their togetherness.
“Rose, I’m sorry,” Rion said as he looked at the woman, holding her hand, which stroked his forehead gently.
Rose smiled gently. “You’ve said it 100 times.”
“I am so sorry.”
“You’ve said that a hundred times already.”
“Since you left, I couldn’t breathe properly every day, and something invisible kept tightening my heart.”
“Yes… You’ve said it, and Lucas also told me.”
“Lucas?” Rion got up and looked at Rose questioningly.
“Yeah. He said Trish told him about it.”
“Trish?”
When Rose told him everything Lucas had told her, Icarus arrived at the Rose Garden. Anwen was surprised to find Dario and Saintess Angela there.
Dario hopped onto Icarus’ back and carried Rion down while Anwen jumped nimbly. After she got down, Icarus shrunk his body to the size of an eagle.
