The rooftop was eerily quiet.
Rhett stared at his empty hands in disbelief, unable to process how he had just watched her fall, without even grabbing a single thread of her clothing.
The world suddenly felt silent.
Elise's panicked screams echoed in the background, but Rhett couldn't hear a thing.
His gaze was empty, his heart hollow, like something had been ripped out of his chest.
Then came the pain, so sharp, so deep, that for a second, he couldn't even breathe.
This feeling was so unfamiliar, so strange, like he wasn't even himself anymore. His eyes were red, but he didn't even know why.
All he knew was that he felt like a complete mess.
Kelsey...
Kelsey...
For a second, Rhett felt like he wasn't part of the world anymore, everything around him blurred in the background, and all he could hear was her voice in his head, getting louder, filled with panic.
"Rhett! What are you doing?!"
