There was a long, deadly silence.
People all held their breaths in horror. Nobody could believe what they were seeing right now.
Until a piercing cry broke the silence.
Glen pushed through the crowd and darted towards the oak table. He held Veronica’s body in his arms, trying desperately to call her back to life but in vain.
“No, no, Veronica…This can’t be happening! No, you can’t be dead…NOOO!!!”
He buried his face to Veronica’s broken chest and uttered a heart-rending shriek. His face was already covered in hot tears.
Aurora found everything in front of her surreal.
How could this happen?
Veronica was just alive this morning, safe and sound. Aurora could still remember the way she smiled and the happy look on her face when she kissed Glen goodbye.
And now…she was gone?
Ho
