Damned: Chapter 50) Even After the Odds

With that, I shrugged away from her and walked towards Archer and for the very first time, I felt an immense sense of happiness upon seeing him after his absence. Tears seemed to build within my eyes as I neared him and fell into an embrace that probably shocked my own being. I somehow needed his comfort and was fighting the urge to not cry in front of so many people around.

Damned: Chapter 49) Painful Grace

The weight of the world seemed to be crashing down upon me or rather tugging mercilessly at the strings which sewed together the broken pieces of my heart. The entire flight I kept to myself and the weeks that came as well.
