"What do you mean?" Lily asked as her tears dripped on her pale skin.

Mr Denver entered and came toward her as he sat beside the weakened lady. He embraced her in his arms and said, "I married you even when I was well aware of the conclusion. I decided to stay with you for these small span of years even if I had to live alone for the rest of my life. I will live with the memories we made together."

Tears kept falling from Lily's eyes as she leaned into Mr Denver's warmth and it wasn't only her, even I started to sniff. I was so moved at the love they shared for each other that I hadn't realized when my tears created translucent paths on my cheeks. Their love was pure and there was no selfishness or want in it. It was ironic that they belonged to different races with different life spans yet that didn't stop them from loving each other. Knowing so well that one day, they would part their ways, they lived the small moments they had and they would cherish those memories forever.

"But you will be lonely." Lily sniffed.

"I have my boys with me, how will I be lonely?" He said.

Lily looked at him and said, "I love you."

"I couldn't love you more." Mr Denver said and my insides howled for them.

I heard a sound and looked at the door and saw the boys were standing there looking at their parents with wide eyes. But the older one seemed to guess as his face fell and although his lips quivered, he didn't cry. What a strong boy!

I sniffed then another sound came just beside me. We all became startled as our eyes fell on the source. It was Callahan standing there with wary eyes.

He looked at me and with a concerned voice he asked, "What happened? I sensed a great emotional turmoil in you."

I looked at him with a wide gap in my mouth as he chose this moment, the heart touching, stomach tingling, and kidney melting moment to arrive.

I glared at him and said in a low voice, "This is a touching moment!"

Callahan furrowed his brows as his eyes moved on them one by one and then he realized he had stumbled upon a very delicate moment. "Ah! I see..."

He turned around and said, "Then I am going back..."

I almost slammed my head in my palms. Someone teach this devil some manners!

"My Lord, please wait!" Mr Denver said as the couple composed themselves. While Lily's cheeks turned red, Mr Denver managed his posture quite professionally. Both of the boys looked at Callahan as if he had grown another head and I couldn't blame them because he certainly crashed here.

Callahan looked at Mr Denver as the demon went toward him and asked, "Would you like to join us? Since we're about to have our lunch."

Callahan thought for a moment then said, "Alright. If it is not a problem."

"Of course not!" Mr Denver exclaimed enthusiastically as if his Lord finally gave him attention. "Please, let me introduce you to my wife and children."

Callahan turned toward Lily and said, "I know everything about her. Lily Denver, an ex-nurse, 38 years old. Married to Hiriotus. Has one kid."

Mr Denver said, "Err... But I have two kids."

Callahan's eyes narrowed down at him for a moment. "Have they forgotten to put your information there?"

Mr Denver didn't understand a thing as he only blinked and with him, Lily and I blinked as well.
