Chapitre 49: Chapter 48

The silence of the night seemed endless, the dark sky expanding above their heads till the end of this rotten world. Kai looked up, finding the stars glistening so far away from him. He was still sitting on the dirty concrete road, his crystal blue eyes exploring the vast sky as he tried to find the strength to break the silence. 

Philip had let go of him, but for some reason both decided to remain seated there, their lips seals, their chests slowly rising as they breathed. It was as if they needed a few more seconds, drowned in this comforting silence at each other's side. It was better like this, sitting there, looking at the sky and the upcoming sun rather than having to face what had just happened. 

Kai noticed that Philip was wiping his tears. His eyes had turned red from crying and the vampire observed him, how his fingertips touched the delicate skin under his eyes and removed the stains of the fake tears.
