"Daylight came and lightened the place. I looked at the sun and begged. I begged with all I had. I remember the bloody tears running down my cheeks. At that moment, I didn't know. I was unaware of what was in Tara's mind and I still believed she had been murdered. How wrong I was.
Her burned body was lifeless in my arms, the smell of it was insufferable. Everyone looked at me, accusing me of what they had done to her, and my heart was broken. They had taken her away from me. Every thought came to my mind at this moment. I was on my knees in the ashes, the gentle breeze lifting them around me. I will remember this pain in my heart forever.
What if I had asked her to marry me? What if I had taken her away from this place? What if I didn't let her into my life? What if… I didn't love her?
