V1: Chapter thirty-three: last words

A year later…

Jonah’s POV

I walk inside the dining room and place the plates on the table. “Bon apetit.” I say. Chiara and Jesse immediately start eating. "It is so good!" Chiara says.

"Not as good as mine." Jesse says. Chiara stops eating and looks questioning at me. "Why did you make cake for dinner?" "Well today is the first anniversary since the war ended." She looks down at her plate but doesn't move an inch.

"It is a year already?" She says. She looks down at her stomach. She is one month pregnant right now. "I wish the others would be here as well." She says sad. Jesse immediately puts his arms around her. "We could visit their graves after dinner if you want to? You know... to tell them everything that happened..." I suggest. She smiles at me. "Good idea."
