Chapter 187

• Bridget screamed out loud as Elena's coffin was about to be laid to rest in the grave. She was crying so hard that she didn't know it would be this painful.
• The pain felt like a physical force, crushing her from the inside out. It was as if her heart was being squeezed into a vice, and she couldn't breathe. She felt like she was going to collapse under the weight of her grief. She sank to her knees as the coffin was lowered into the ground. She couldn't stand to watch.
• The people began stayed not leaving Bridget alone at the gravesite. But she didn't care. She couldn't leave. She couldn't say goodbye. Connor stayed with her. Jerome and Maria were there with her too."It's okay to feel this way, Bridget." Connor said, putting his arm around her. "It's okay to be sad. Elena was important to you, and you have every right to grieve."
