Suddenly, a glimmer caught his eye, a single tear slipping down the side of her face.

Shock rippled through Victor's chest.

He immediately, cupped her face gently.
"Moon?" he whispered, his voice laced with concern.
"What's wrong?"

Cathrin blinked rapidly, trying to suppress the flood building in her eyes, but another tear rolled down, followed by another, until the dam broke completely

Cathrin blinked rapidly, trying to suppress the flood building in her eyes, but another tear rolled down, followed by another, until the dam broke completely.

"Nothing," she whispered with a forced smile, but her trembling voice betrayed her.

Victor's brows furrowed as he wiped her tears with his thumb, desperation creeping into his voice.
"No, Cathrin. This isn't nothing."

Her lips quivered as she bit down on them, futilely attempting to stem the flow.

Victor tilted her face to make her meet his eyes, his tone firm yet gentle.
"Look at me, love. Don't hold back."

Cathrin's eyes, now red and glassy from alcohol and pent-up emotions, locked onto his, and that was all it took. The weight of everything she had been carrying crashed down like a tidal wave.
