Chapter 63
***
Sez’s slender shoulders shook as she wept. Tears dripped down her haggard cheeks, and a sob leaked out from her lips.
"Take it, it's yours."
Rayton urged, pressing his present into Sez’s hands. It was a painting of Runa.
"Where…?"
Sez’s words were interrupted by another sob.
"Where did you get this?"
"I asked a painter to do it. I had to describe her appearance bit by bit."
Rayton had gone out as soon as the sun rose, searching the streets to find a skilled painter. He paid much higher than the average amount and had to explain what she looked like in detail.
"It’s like she modeled for him… and… she’s laughing."
Sez barely managed to get the words out, staring at the bright smile Runa wore in the painting. It was the smile that Sez loved.
"She was always smiling like that… in my memories.”
“…….”
"She’s looking at you, always."
