Page 61 of Devoured By Demons

Standing, Zain extends his hand to me, Brooke snuggled into his other arm. “You sure you’re ready?” I ask.

He nods as I take his hand and he helps me to my feet.

With flowers in one hand, I clasp my other with Zain’s and together, we walk between the rows of headstones.

When we reach Sara’s, I pull Brooke into my arms and give Zain a moment to kneel at his sister’s grave.

Head bowed, he reaches out, hand splayed over the cool, white marble as he whispers, “Miss you, squirt.”

Sensing her daddy’s somber mood, Brooke launches at him from my arms. Zain chuckles softly and snuggles her to his chest. When Brooke wiggles, wanting to be free, Zain lowers herto the grass in front of her aunt’s grave. When she places her little hand against the cold stone, Zain smiles. He lifts Brooke into his arms and takes my hand. “Let’s go home.”

There was a time when Zain thought he was devoured by demons, but all he needed was someone to set them free.

THE END
