Chapter 207

“Jareth”. A single utterance that sent a shiver down Jareth’s spine.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, a reaction to the term he didn’t quite expect.

Her tears, welling up from her crimson-rimmed eyes and rolling down her cheeks, seemed to drop into his heart, stirring ripples.

He instantly pushed aside her previous act of leaving him behind.

“From your sister-in-law, Evadne?” Jareth squinted his eyes, gently wiping the tear stains on her cheeks with his calloused fingers.

Marilla nodded, her nose reddening.

“Where did you lose it? Here?”

She nodded again, her eyes reddened.

A trail of dreamy pink light followed, illuminating them like a masterfully painted portrait.

Marilla shyly lowered her gaze, but couldn’t help stealing glances at him.
