Zane
I rest my head on Viktor's shoulder, my heart strangely calm. In situations like this, I used to think I was always alone, that I couldn't rely on anyone.
Because no one would help me.
But I was wrong. Look at me now—someone is right here by my side, someone because of whom I don't feel scared even in dangerous situations. Isn't it beautiful to lean on a person we trust?
Because we know that person won't let anything happen to us.
Viktor is the first person I've ever trusted this much in my whole life. And Viktor… he never says no when it comes to helping me. He's always there when I need him.
If someday I am able to help him, I will.
My hand and his hand were joined together as I slowly closed my eyes, still leaning on him.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Nilo and Nico running around after Lucky. They were playing, and I was in the garden.
When I looked around, I realized I was lying on the bench, my head resting on Viktor's lap. His long coat was draped over me.
