Haylie POV
My heart was racing—this would be the first time I set foot back on Earth since I died. As we stepped through the portal and into the bustling street, an overwhelming wave of emotion hit me. My breath caught in my throat as tears welled in my eyes.
I was really back in Cress Moon Town.
I inhaled deeply, closing my eyes as I took in the familiar, crisp air of this world. The warmth of the sun touched my skin, and for the first time in months, I felt a sense of home.
Silent tears rolled down my cheeks as I savored this moment. My life on Earth had ended so abruptly, and now, on the cusp that I thought I would never see this place again. It had only been months since I died, but it felt like an eternity.
"How does it feel to be back?" Klinton's voice broke through my thoughts, gentle but curious.
