There's Only Moving Forward

Katherine and Damien flew back to Harbor City, Esmea in his private jet. Amelia, Styles, and the others were already back a couple of days ago, so it was only the two of them who traveled, plus a few of his security detail. Even with Shadow being gone, he didn't want to be too complacent about things anymore. Katherine got kidnapped twice by them, and he hadn't forgiven himself for it.

Although he knew she never blamed him for what happened, he still couldn't shake that feeling of regret and guilt away. 'I should have done better,' he'd always told himself.

Once they landed on the tarmac at four in the afternoon, there was still so much sun left. Looking around the surroundings and seeing the familiar runway, Katherine took a deep breath of fresh air and released it slowly, a cloud mist forming before her mouth.
