“Nothing else to do right now.” Caleb stood next to Becca, a familiar comfort helping to hoist her up.
“True.” Darion reached for her hand. His warm magic soothed her ragged heart.
The wind picked up, covering the silence as the sun rose on the horizon. Its beauty mocked Becca. She had never imagined this kind of ache. Yet at the same time, there was hope. All because of the two men standing next to her. They had all lost a lot, but not everything.
And that was something worth fighting for.
