Good

Adea

The pain flashed in her eyes for only a second before the light disappeared. She didn’t seem to see me as she stared at something far away. Her head slumped forward and her body went limp.

Odis’s arm reached around and engulfed Olivia’s body before she could hit the ground. Odis fell to his knees and he held her to his body like she’d fall apart if he let go. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he rocked back and forth. He whispered words of comfort into her ear while his hand gently caressed her pale cheek.

Peeling my gaze away from him, my eyes roamed to the shoulders before me. Normally broad and strong, they sagged with defeat. I took a step forward, daring to stand by his side. Needing to assess the damage and be near him.
