Chapter 42

• Damien
• I pull away from the kiss and look at Clara as she catches her breath. I can't stop myself from capturing her lips and kissing her again. I want to assure myself that she is here with me. That she is safe.
• We both pull away and stare into each other's eyes. I can't even imagine what she has been through. I don't want to talk about it now. I just want to put all of it aside for a moment so that I can enjoy this good moment of reunion with my girl.
