In the dimly lit room, he sat holding her cold hand, his fingers tracing the lines of her palm, memorizing each detail as if it could somehow etch her back into life. He leaned in close, his lips brushing against her forehead in a tender kiss, the gesture filled with a reverence that spoke of years spent together.

Her heart raced, not from the sadness of the moment, but from the chilling words that had slipped from his lips.
