Even After Death by Lilting Champ

The fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded into a dazzling display of lights.

The kids were holding sparklers, but they weren't the least bit excited.

"She loves all of you very much.

He said calmly, "The cherry blossoms will bloom soon.

"She promised me that she would meet me under the cherry blossom trees.

He could only hope that Olivia was still alive.
