So I stayed away .
I thought keeping my distance would be enough .
I thought I could love you silently .
But e Elaine … I love you .
He kissed her forehead softly , reverently , as though she were still alive , as though she were still his .
Years passed .
Decades .
Centuries .
Time moved on , but the story of the two lovers didnt fade .

Everyone knew the truth : Kingsley Morgan had left this world with Elaine Yeats .
And in death , they were inseparable , forever tied to one another .
But Elaines soul wasnt at peace .
It drifted in endless darkness , lost , untethered , with nowhere to go .
Until , in the void , a voice called out .
Calm , steady , and unnervingly clear , it asked .
Elaine Yeats , do you want to change your fate ? Without a moments hesitation , Elaine answered .
Yes .
The voice spoke again , firm and resolute .
Very well .
I will send you back .
Good luck .
Before she could process what was happening , darkness swallowed her whole .
When Elaine opened her eyes again , she found herself lying in a hospital bed .
The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air , and the room was deathly quiet .
Her wrists ached .
She looked down and saw thick bandages wrapped tightly around them , fresh cuts layered over faded scars .
The sight was hauntingly familiar .
She was alive .
Back in her nineteen year old body .
Elaine stared at the ceiling , her mind spinning as the realization hit her .
