“Chill”
Larkin raised a hand, planting his broad palm before her gaze, obscuring most of her face Erica blinked, her long eyelashes brushing against Larkin’s palm, eliciting a ticklish sensation “I’m chilled” A few seconds later. Erica gently pushed Larkin’s hand aside, holding it tightly. “But I’m still a bit jittery, do you think your teacher will be pissed that I took you away?”
“He won’t “Larkin reassured with a smile. Don’t worry”
Facing the elder who raised you, I’m bound to be jittery!” Erica took a few deep breaths, Tlook like a hot mess right now, I need to go back and change into something more formal”
She had thrown on some sweats as soon as she woke up and hadn’t even had time to fox her hair.
“You look great in anything.”Larkin corrected her earnestly
“Ha Erica giggled at his compliment, her eyes squinting into slits.
The pair walked and talked, and before they could make it to the sermon, Larkin’s phone started buzzing
Upon seeing the caller ID, the smile on Larkin’s face vanished.
Neither Enca nor Larkin attended the morning sermon at the church
After answering the call, Larkin grabbed Erica’s hand and dashed to his teacher’s room.
Outside the room, a crowd had already gathered, waiting
Larkin’s heart hammered in his chest
Everyone looked at him, their faces a complicated mix of emotions, heads bowed, and no one daring to speak
Erica gave Larkin a worried look

As soon as Erica entered, she caught a faint whiff of blood.
Larkin’s teacher leaned against a stack of pillows, the corner of his mouth stained with blood, his face pale, and the light in his eyes seemingly gone. “Teacher” Larkin called out
The Abbots eyes brightened slightly at the sound
“Get the medicine” Larkin turned to the Prior
The Prior immediately handed over the prepared medicine.
Just as Larkin was about to start his treatment, his teacher spoke
“Larkin Abbot’s voice was weak
Larkin’s hand shook.
“Where’s your wife?” Abbot asked
“I’m here!” Erica stepped forward, “Mister, I’m Erica, his wife!”
Abbot struggled to open his eyes, but saw only darkness.
He couldn’t see anymore
“Erica, that’s a pretty name.” Abbot said, then took a deep breath
Tears rolled down Larkins cheeks
“Teacher, I came in such a hurry this time, I forgot to bring you a gift. Next time I come, I’ll bring you the tastiest fruit, the most beautiful flowers Enca said gently
Abbot smiled
“Lark
in a good boy” He look while to continue. “You you must be good to him”
” wid? Erica immediately assured ham, tears spilling from her eyes. “Don’t worry, I love him very much, I will treat him very, very well!
“Good good “Abbot repeated twice
Then the light in his eyes slowly faded away
“Teacher The Prior cried out in anguish, rustang over
On a clear morning, the Abbot had passed away
As Larkin stepped out of the room, he accidentally bumped into a few
He didn’t feel anything in part
The sounds of crying echoed behind him, sometimes close, sometimes distant
As he crossed the threshold, he stumbled slightly.
