His Precious Love

Before Rayna knew it, tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. She covered her mouth as she sobbed and didn’t hear the footsteps approaching until a pair of legs appeared in front of her.

“I wanted to see Kristie,” Rayna replied as she slowly moved her hand away.

“Well, you’ve seen her.”

Having tried her best to compose herself, Rayna gingerly raised her head and met Curtis’ gaze. “I’m sorry… What did you do to Kristie? Why doesn’t she remember James?”
