I can't tell River that Zuriel, the man she speaks warmly about, is my fiance. How can I?
"Did you just leave the hospital?" I ask.
"Yes, I couldn't bear it in there anymore. I needed to see Zuriel,"
"You must love him," I murmur.
"We were so in love. He's not too expressive, but I know he loves me," she says, and I feel a sting in my chest. Will Zuriel cancel the wedding now that his girlfriend is back? I will be heartbroken. Now that I was getting a little closer to him, it will be hard to leave him. I look at the woman sitting next to me.
We stayed there a moment as we waited. The large glass doors open, and Zuriel steps in. He looks shocked to see us here.
River is the first one to get to her feet and run to give him a huge hug. My heart feels like it
