Gloria could feel the emptiness of the huge room when she saw nothing but darkness. When she saw a figure and aimed to search for the switch, the light turned on and she immediately looked over at the figure.
Immediately she saw Lucian, she carried her son tightly and ran to him because he didn't look okay.
"My baby girl," he smiled brightly but Gloria could see the sadness behind his grin.
"Lucian, why?" She used one of her arms to carry Michael and use her other hand to touch his big sad face.
"I miss you and Michael like crazy," he said.
"I'm sorry for your loss," Gloria began to cry as though she was the bereaved. Lucian immediately wrapped her small waist. He was weak and she hated seeing him that way.
"I miss you like crazy," he said to his lover with a brittle tone and pulled back only to collect Michael from her.
Lucian wiped his tears. "Thank you for giving me a child," he uttered, staring at his son, who was deep asleep.
