Rain's expression softened, and a faint sadness flickered in her eyes. "I guess I didn't realize how much it showed back then. It was... a difficult time."
Henry nodded. "Understandable. But now? It's like you're glowing. You've come back to life, Rain."
Rain gave a small, bittersweet smile. "That's because Alexander woke up. He's… he's my anchor. When he was unconscious, it felt like the world stopped spinning. Like I was just going through the motions without any real purpose."
Henry studied her for a moment, then said, "It's a good thing he has you. I don't think he'd be half as strong without someone like you by his side."
She looked away, her cheeks tinged with warmth. "I think we're strong because we have each other. It's not just me… it's him too. We both fought to get here, and I don't think I could've done it alone."
