Evelyn s POV
I couldn t understand, nothing to me made sense. I just couldn t fathom something as tragic as this could happen to her. I never in my wildest dreams could picture Amara being gone. It didn t feel real, like a bad dream I was yet to wake up from.
When we got home, Thaddeus was nowhere to be seen, yet I could feel his heartbreak, his guilt. Nothing compared to the agony of his tortured soul. No amount of pain I had ever endure measured up to the feelings that swirled within him.
"What s taking him so long?" Imogen said pacing around the loungeroom. Her tears looked like they were permanently etched into her grief-stricken face. Looking at my daughter squirming in my arms, I couldn t imagine the heart ache she was feeling. I had only been a mother for a few hours and knew without a doubt I would lie my life down without hesitation for her. Give up everything and everyone for her in a heartbeat.
