Chapter 77: Flags

Days had turned into weeks, and Zamian still hadn't returned. The emptiness in Mira's heart felt heavier with each passing day. Mira had refused to speak to him since that moment he had become a red flag in her eyes. She had expected him to at least say, "I'm sorry," but he did not.
