Chapter 22 Sweet Melody

• Sebastian remains in total silence, as if the words might attack him. He lowers his gaze, closes his eyes, and sighs, feeling tired and unable to forget or forgive himself for the death of his parents.
• Anastasia slowly approaches and places her right hand on Sebastian's left shoulder. Feeling her touch, a fire ignites in his heart.
• "Anastasia... don't ask me for more than I can give you," he says, his voice barely a whisper.
