The news that Andrew was safe spread through Valerie to the Lloyd royal family and beyond. The Lloyd family, along with Aspen, Rowan, and Natasha, all burst into tears of relief. Yet when they learned that Andrew had gone beyond the realm alone, the three women felt heartbroken all over again.
Over the past few days, Donovan never stopped searching for Andrew. Finally, he could let out a long breath and collapsed into his chair. He laughed and said, "Andrew will return one day, and when he does, the Lloyds will be unstoppable."
…
Inside the military headquarters, Luna sat alone in her office. She thought back to the day she gave her heart and body to Andrew, because the sunset that day looked just as vibrant as the one outside her window now. Yet, the man she missed was far away, thousands of miles beyond reach, and all she could do was think of him in silence.
Luna never saw herself as someone sentimental, but as she looked around her office and remembered every moment she had shared with Andrew, her eyes welled up with tears.
She whispered, "Andrew, when will we meet again?"
Then, she spoke softly to the passing breeze, "I just hope you come back safe and sound."
Just then, the door opened, and Valerie walked in wearing her military gear. The moment their eyes met, the old tension between them was gone. They simply stood there in quiet understanding.
Valerie said softly, "You don't have to worry too much. He promised he would come back to Holtrien for us."
Luna nodded. "Thank you."
Valerie blinked. "Thank me for what?"
Luna replied, "Thank you for staying by his side and never giving up on him. Without you, things would have been so much harder for him."
