Chapter 18 Getaway

• Julien
• Present
• Her eyes are just as blue as I remember. They fill with tears and she lets them fall. I see a lifetime of suffering and pain clouding those eyes that should be filled with nothing but happiness and light. For a moment, I want to pull her into my arms and rip off that stupid mask that covers her beauty. For a moment, I want to kiss away her tears and promise never to make her cry again. For a moment, I almost fall for it, just like I did when I was a naïve kid.
