Chapter 85 Eloise

• Eloise lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, the silence of the room suffocating her. Vincent had only been gone for five hours, yet it felt like a lifetime. She tried to sleep, knowing it was important for her and the baby, but her heart wouldn’t calm. Every passing second filled her with more dread.
• She glanced down at Bruno, his small body curled up next to her, breathing softly in his sleep. His innocence, the way he slept so peacefully, only made her emotions swell. Gently, she pulled him closer, holding him as if she could protect him from all the chaos outside. The thought of losing him, of almost losing Vincent, gripped her heart with fear.
• Her chest tightened, and tears welled up. She sobbed quietly, trying to contain the flood of emotions, but it was impossible. All she wanted was peace. A life where she didn’t have to constantly worry if the next day would take away the ones she loved.
