CH 140: The Distance Between Us

``Hear this song as you sleep,

A tale of a maiden who lays in her feet,

Under the willow at night she danced,

With only the whispers of winds she has.``

Evangeline's face changed as she sang the lullaby. With the children quiet, even online viewers could hear her well. Her technique was nowhere near a professional's but each syllable was clear. The tone matched her pristine expression, 

It was simple and pleasant.

``Tip toe, there she twirls,

Around the tree where she met the lad

Tip toe, she stretched her hand,

But no one was there in where she stands.``

The clip lasted for 15 seconds.

"What's gotten into you?" Richard's question broke his best friend out of his reverie.

"Nothing." Ambryan locked the phone screen immediately. He wore a hard look on his face. His eyes closed as beads of sweat emerged on his forehead.
