Lucian couldn't stop thinking of what Roshan had said to him. He couldn't stop recalling his mother's sad eyes. He couldn't stop recalling what it had felt like when she had hugged him. The way she had made him feel warm and safe. Lucian couldn't understand why she had abandoned him but he thought that she probably had a good reason. He hoped so at least.
The sweet scent of Hazel suddenly filled the air. It made Lucian turn in bed so that he could see her. She had just changed into her nightgown and was letting her hair down as she walked toward the bed. These days she seemed to glow even more and he fell in love with her all over again.
She came and sat on her side of the bed with legs crossed. She seemed happy. "Roshan and Klara, Isn't that amazing. They look perfect together."
Lucian agreed. He was glad she found someone. He could still remember the pain in her eyes when he had turned down her proposal.
