Chapter 38: Whispers, Secrets, & Miracles

Cecilia came to a stop outside of the gathered crowd. They were all crouched down around a young girl’s unbreathing form. They all waited expectantly for Cecilia to perform a miracle.

Months had passed by. The best of Cecilia and Detrick’s lives.

Once their building supplies had arrived and were deposited on the new lot of land they had acquired from the kingdom, Cecilia had taken a walk one morning up to the glade by herself.

When Detrick caught up to her, a beautiful house sat on top of the granite rock they had discovered weeks before. Two stories tall, white, and with a lookout patio on the top, it resembled many of the homes in Gull’s Cove.

As Detrick gazed upon the immaculate home, he thought he saw motes of green dust receding away. Looking at Cecilia, she appeared weary, but happy. She was smiling, that was all that mattered.
