Chapter 142 All About Anika

• Monica’s POV
• As Callian and I walk through Anika’s garden, the familiar scent of flowers filling the air. I stop walking when I see a lilac flower, its soft purple petals swaying gently. My fingers reach for it but Callian picks it up first. He holds it out to me, his eyes watching me closely.
• I take it from his hands and bring it to my nose, inhaling the scent. A sigh escapes me, my chest tightening with sorrow.
