But he lost all chances when he killed her sister. Her anchor, her only form of support. Her heart ached at the memory of the day he took her beloved sister from her.

He whispered softly, "I know. . ."
With a quick blow to the chest, it numbered his breaths. "I did it all for you. Always." Lines formed on her forehead. "Your sister, she-" He gasped as the pain intensified. The adrenaline was fading away. "Just check the box, love." He smiled weakly and whispered, "It was always for you. . ."
