CH574 Udara's Acceptance and Changes II
***
Udara recalled the moment Alex reached out his hand to her and pulled her from the shadows into the light beside him.
When she had first met him, she believed she would be —or rather, she was— content remaining within his shadow, protecting him from the darkness she had long grown accustomed to.
She had expected only a role… A purpose to continue living— even if that meant serving the goals of another.
But what she found instead… was a life.
Slowly, before she even realised it, the man had wormed his way into the deepest parts of her being.
Then he pulled her out from the darkness where she had hidden herself and offered her a place in the light.
A place by his side.
With that opportunity, she had built a life of her own.
And that life gradually filled with more light.
With the encouragement of the person most important to her, she met others who also became important.
People who brightened her life.
