He closed his eyes, but Lauraâs teary gaze remained etched in his mind.
She had wept, but her determination was unyielding.

Dylan stowed the luggage in the trunk before draping his arm around Lauraâs shoulders.

Lina found solace in his words.
She expressed her gratitude to Dylan, who appeared nonchalant about it.
âItâs the least I can do.
Weâre leaving now.

He assisted Laura into the car and then circled around to the driverâs seat.
Seated on the passengerâs side, Laura couldnât avoid seeing Edwin.
He appeared somewhat defeated, his eyes red as he gazed in their direction.
