Dana POV
"He's meant to marry someone who's able to give him a child, so I understand it. I don't need to bother," I murmured, my voice trailing off into a broken sob as I attempted to wipe away the tears that continued to cascade down my cheeks unchecked.
As Anna shook her head, a somber acceptance settled over her features, a silent acknowledgment of the futility of words in the face of our shared grief.
With a resigned sigh, Anna drew me into her embrace, her arms wrapping around me in a gesture of silent solidarity.
"I am sorry..." she whispered, her voice barely more than a breath against the backdrop of our shared anguish.
I offered her a small, sad smile, my heart heavy with the weight of unspoken regrets and unfulfilled promises. With a gentle pat on her back, I returned her embrace, drawing comfort from the warmth of her presence.
