Chapter 188

Upon opening his eyes, the first sight that greeted Eton was Seraphina’s tender face. The moment her radiant smile met his gaze, Eton knew — he was dreaming.
“You’ll have to take all of my time if you choose me.”
Was it a memory from that day? One that still vividly lingered in his mind.
As if to affirm it, familiar words slipped through his lips.
“Then after this life is over, you must come back to me. And after the next, and the next. Forever, just like the meaning of this flower.”
“...”
“Perhaps I could find peace, no longer trapped in a limbo between life and death, if you were to share with me the moments of your eternal life.”
He believed it would be so. That his existence wouldn’t be dotted with meaningless stretches of time. That he wouldn’t have to endure it, neither alive nor dead, as long as she was there.
“...Give me eternity.”
