Chapter 25

• Sebastian remained kneeling, his eyes fixed on the spot where Adeline disappeared into the rain, his gaze lingering on the emptiness that now filled the space where their love once stood.
• Time lost all meaning as the minutes ticked by, blending into hours, and still Sebastian stayed, frozen in his anguish, unable to move or tear his eyes away from the memories that haunted him.
• The rain continued to pour down, drenching him to the bone and chilling him to the core, but Sebastian didn't feel it, his heart numb, his soul shattered into a million pieces.
