Chapter 9:
Jacob led Rosie and Alex to Mira's room. Jacob's heart raced, pounding against his chest. His nightmare about Mira last night had him worried. He was afraid he would walk in and see Mira's lifeless body splayed across the bed.
When Jacob entered the room, Mira was sitting up, reading Pride and Prejudiced.
"M-Mira?" Her eyes shot up and were filled to the brim with hope.
"Jacob!" Just the sound of her light, tinkling voice shouting his name was the best music to his ears.
Jacob ran to Mira and embraced her in his arm. "Mommy!" Rosie and Alex yelled out. Mira turned around to see two bouncing, six-year-old girls come running towards him.
"Girls! Oh, my nights have been sleepless without knowing you girls are safe." Mira looked at Jacob. "But I still slightly fear not. Your father will keep you safe in any situation." Jacob merely smiled.
Jacob looked at Mira, trying to send a message through his eyes. He wanted Mira alone.
Mira almost instantly got what he was trying to say. "Erm, girls, I think you'd better go into the lobby. Me and your father want to talk……..alone."
Rosie and Alex walked out, whispering and giggling as Mira and Jacob drew closer to each other. As they exited the room, Jacob walked closer to Mira.
"Well, erm, Mira, I……….." Jacob was not able to finish his sentence, for Mira had grabbed the back of his head and simply began to kiss him like yesterday, but more passionately.
"Oh, Jacob….. I love you too much…… I simply cannot die and never see you again, I simply cannot……….."
Jacob felt the softness of her breath against his ear. He pulled himself closer. He then found he was crying; sobbing like a baby.
"Mira, I know you will never be far. Besides, our love is everlasting, so it cannot be broken."
Jacob wished with all his heart that his words of love were true. He thought Mira and he were to be here in his arms forever and he got that wrong. He thought Mira was too beautiful for him in the first place, and he, too, was wrong about that.
Was he to be wrong about his words of passion?
