Summer Thorne had originally planned to ask Xavier Lockwood to dinner, but upon returning to Stillwater, she realized how exhausted she was. Forgoing everything else, she walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.
When Timothy York returned that evening, the house was quiet, without a single sound.
For a moment, he even wondered if Summer Thorne hadn't come back yet, or if she had gone back to Kingscrest.
It wasn't until he slowly walked into the bedroom that he discovered someone lying quietly on the bed, fast asleep.
Timothy York slowly approached. As he was about to turn off the bedside lamp for her, he was surprised to see something glisten under Summer Thorne's eyelashes.
Looking closer, he realized it was a tear.
Timothy York couldn't help but pause.
Summer Thorne cried so rarely. It seemed that no matter how terrible things got, she would just tough it out.
But everyone has moments when they can't hold on, when they feel sad...
'How could a person not cry?'
