*Kat’s POV
I pulled away from Carol and offered her a small smile. Now a little task remains.
I turned to Ryder and walked to be near him. He softly smiled at me as I teared up.
I threw myself in his arms and tightly hugged him.
“You had helped me in every step I faltered, yet I doubted you.” I cried.
“Kat, all that I have done was so that I could be with you peacefully. I knew not knowing the truth would have haunted us all through our lives. And investigations if together would have brought us to our demise.” He whispered, I could hear him tearing up as well. This distance was not just badly affecting me but him as well.
“Every day, Jesus! Every minute, I have missed you. And all those minutes your broken expression on that day had pierced me. And each time I felt that excruciating pain, I wanted to end all these pretending or at least call you.” He whispered.
“Yet you didn’t, you even blocked me!” I cried.
