如真能 再世轮回 愿来生 落户山水 "If only we can reincarnate, and hope for a new simple life"
Tessa woke up in Will's arm, but she did not want to give any signs of her waking up, because that would mean that she will have to admit that Will was a killer, and that he must face his verdict from the Clave, which means exile.
"I think we both know you're awake," stated Will.
Tessa opened her eyes and got up as slowly as she could. She was still dressed in yesterday's dress, corset and all, she groaned with the aches all over her body from sleeping on the floor. Unwillingly, she stood up, and tried her best to push away any inconvenient emotions, and imitated Will's emotionless tone.
"So, this is it."
"Yes."
She felt a surge of sadness and unwillingness, and she shoved herself in Will's arms.
"I don't want you to go."
She was answered with silence.
"We don't have a chance, do we?"
Nothing.
"Maybe… if the Chinese got it right, maybe if we get another life, maybe… Perhaps we can lead a simple life."
"A mundane life?" asked Will.
"One without drama."
"One without pain and loss."
"Maybe we might even not know how to spell 'pain'."
Tessa chuckled. "Maybe not that mundane."
They held onto each other. Embraced by the silence.
"You should go."
Then, without a single word, Will picked up his bag, and walked out of her sight.
