LifeDayDreams

“I don't like judging people, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't like talking behind people's backs, but sometimes I do. I just want to live a good life, but sometimes I can't.”

He disappeared without a trace, coming back from the ever-present war years later.

She suffered, losing everything, and raising her son alone. Now, can a spark set the ashes afire again?

Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred.
Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family he never had, and which she did not have anymore.

"Then I won't say much. But if anything is bothering you, don't hesitate to let me know. Even if I cannot help, there is still Daemon."

Evelyn turned back to the road, and continued:
