As they left the prison, Ryan kept Carrie in his embrace the whole time. The man's warm breath surrounded her, but Carrie still trembled slightly against his chest.

"Honey, you..." Ryan pursed his lips, suddenly at a loss for words.

What should he say to comfort her?

"We'll come next time" and "my condolences" would not do.

"Ryan." Carrie hung her head low, her eyes still swollen, with tears on her eyelashes. "Thank you... Thank you for letting me see her one last time. It's enough, really... I won't ask anything more from you in the future."

"Honey! What are you saying?!"

Ryan immediately panicked, quickly kneeling before her on one knee and grabbing her cold hands. He looked into her moist eyes with an anxious gaze. "What do you mean you won't ask anything more?!

I want to give you the whole world. It was my fault that day. I shouldn't strip you of your right to see your mother one last time. It will never happen again, I swear."
