Chapter 137 Before The Sun Rises
- ⊰ Alaki ⊱
- The sun hasn’t risen yet as I finish getting dressed, my movements careful and measured in the pre-dawn darkness. Through the mirror’s reflection, I watch Efrem sleeping—the way his chest rises and falls, how his features soften in unconsciousness. Once, this sight brought me comfort. Now it just makes my heart ache.
- I love him.
