Eli wasn't sure how he found himself in this predicament. He had just gone to the bakery for a few scones and a couple of cupcakes for the staff at the lab, but somehow he was now standing just outside of the bakery without having even ventured inside yet.

Riley pulled the hood up over her coat as she walked down the sidewalk. There was the crunch of snow on the ground and the brisk chill in the air, but Riley loved it.

It was hard knowing she was dead back home. Sure, he had died saving her life, but he couldn't keep her alive from beyond the grave. Everything about ( Read more... )

He didn't know how long he was would be there in the village, the thought of his vanishing and going back home weighing constantly on his mind ( Read more... )
