[PRESENT TIME]
Jackson silently huffed as he was reminded of his end and also the beginning of his life as an immortal being, holder of Filomena's heart. Although until now, he couldn't understand why she never wanted him to love her again, he knew it was unfair.
It was wrong.
When this relentless cycle of life's only meaning was her, he couldn't see the importance of her not using this heart to love. Especially when she finally returned his affection at the same intensity.
"Oh, Fil," he whispered, brushing her hair with his fingertips. "If living means I cannot love you, then I'd use my last breath to say how much I love you."
From the day he had laid his eyes on her all for eternity. His heart only beat for her. Literally and figuratively. No amount of words could ever explain how much his heart yearned for her.
"Jack."
Jackson raised his brows when he heard Dustin's voice. Looking back, he saw Dustin by the door.
