"Walter..." Tara looked up at him, his backlit figure causing her to shield her eyes with her hand as she squinted at him, "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

For a moment, Walter held his breath, realizing that Tara had grown even more stunning over the year, appearing more radiant.
However... as he kept his gaze on her, his eyes darken. There were moments when she still seemed burdened, often sitting for hours with unfocused eyes, appearing downcast.
