CHAPTER LVIII: Butterfly

When Anya had woken up at dawn, she had found the other side of the bed empty. She stared at the pillow with a dent, where Damian 's head had been. She passed her fingers over it. She turned away, grabbing a pillow she hugged to her chest, blinking away the tears. Blinking away the tears that kept coming and coming

and coming

.

Their love had survived so much. It had fallen apart so quickly, so unexpectedly, it had taken them both by surprise.

Anya started sobbing without realising it, smothering her cries into the pillow. Hera nuzzled closer to her, licking her tears, and whining softly.

COEUS truly had taken everything from her, after all.

Her parents found her awake, sitting up with red, puffy eyes ' it was the most expression of agony she had shown since her rescue. She was finally expressing her bottled up emotions.
