“Jeremy, it’s so beautiful here!’ Comelia said
“Do you like it?” Marcus looked down at her, her eyes sparkling as she took in the view. She was so beautiful, so
captivating. He couldn’t help but leaned down to kiss her forehead.
Cornelia’s attention was drawn to him, she looked away from the view, and stood on her tiptoes to plant a soft kiss
on the corner of his lips, “I love it! I love the view, but I love you even more!

Just then, Marcus’ phone rang. He took it out and said, “I need to take this.”
Cornelia nodded.
She watched him stand up and walk away to answer the call, she couldn’t hear what the other person was saying,
only his deep voice, “Yes, I understand.”
Then he hung up and walked back to her, something complicated in his eyes.

Marcus nodded, sat back down next to her, AND held her hand again, “I want to talk to you about your birth

Cornelia looked at him, forcing a bitter smile, “You’re going to tell me that she’s passed away, aren’t you?”
Marcus asked, “Where did you hear that?”
