Nevaeh slowly stepped forward and stood beside Cassius.
The towering mountains stretched endlessly, their lush greenery winding gracefully and shrouded in mist, a breathtaking sight.
Standing at the peak, she felt as if she were on top of the world, the other mountains seeming small and distant beneath her.
Breathing in the crisp, fresh air and gazing at the endless mountain ranges below, Nevaeh felt her perspective widen.
No wonder Cassius loved coming here.
"It's beautiful," she whispered softly.
"This is where my mother passed away," Cassius replied, his voice flat, empty, and devoid of warmth.
Nevaeh froze. Her smile faltered as she turned to look at him, surprised and uneasy.
She had assumed he visited this place for its stunning views, but she had never expected it to hold such painful memories.
Cassius's gaze was fixed ahead, aimlessly staring into the abyss below.
