Chương 888: Epilogue: Ali (III)

While Ali was wondering on what would be the best method to approach the subject, he saw Fleur looking in rapt amazement at a butterfly that was fluttering by. She ran after it excitedly, only to have it out of her reach every time.

Alex and Ziad tried to help and were running around the garden with Fleur, trying vainly to catch the butterfly. As they became breathless from all the running, the butterfly flew lower and landed on Rory's shoulder.

Rory, the only one who didn't run after the butterfly but was watching from the sidelines.

Everyone just stood still, looking at that butterfly that seemed to stand on its hind legs, it's front legs up in the air a bit while its wing was half folded. As if waving to Rory, it then spread its wings and flew off again.

No one moved this time, just looking at the butterfly that slowly disappeared.

"Why didn't the butterfly want me?" pouted Fleur.
