Two days later…
Vincent returned to Cohutta with Natalia. He got out of the car and took a look around at the familiar mansion. This was his home for several months. He was able to re-establish stability in his life from here. Most importantly, he fell in love again here... love he never thought he'd find again.
He got somewhat emotional. It was a sweet and bitter feeling. They considered humans weak. And they always maintained a boundary with them. But in the end, these humans brought back the joy in his life. He was able to smile again because of them.
"Are you nervous?" Natalia’s sweet voice brought him back to reality. He watched her on his left side and smiled. "Yes, I am," he murmured. "Erm… I don’t know how to face your dad. I mean, um… as your boyfriend."
Natalia smiled, interlacing her fingers with his. "Everything will be fine. I am with you. We will face everything together."
"Together," Vincent said with a nod.
They entered the mansion hand in hand.
