Chapter 64 – Zara's Pov

• As the sun began to set, I made my way back to the vacation house. Inside, I noticed a young boy sitting on the sofa, and a surge of unfamiliar emotions washed over me.
• He had been the boy who had hugged me on the island that day. The boy who had embraced me with such longing. Unbeknownst to me, tears had started to flow from my eyes.
• Was this what they called a surge of emotions? Why did I feel such a strong connection to this child? And when our eyes met, he had jumped up from his seat and wrapped his arms around me. He had buried his face in my embrace, and that's where we had cried together.
