Stefan then looked down at Raegan and suggested gently, Lets go home.
Mm-hmm. Raegan agreed. Her simple affirmation carried a hint of reliance.

Raegan was deeply reliant on Stefan, much like any loving couple.
Stefans grasp shifted to interlacing their fingers, and they exited side by side.
For a moment, Mitchel felt a surge of desire to leap from the bed and separate them, to disrupt their unity. Raegan had once vowed to stay with him forever. Yet now, she was clasping another mans hand and walking away without hesitation.
Mitchel attempted to rise, but his legs were numb and unresponsive.

Now, he was unable to chase them.
Bang! The bedside lamp crashed to the floor.
This sharp noise reached Raegans ears. She recognized that this truly marked the end of their relationship.
She wanted to be courageous, but the cost of courage was often more than she could handle. She was just an ordinary person Sometimes, one must accept the role of fate.
The threats that surrounded her and Mitchel hadnt ended with Katies death and continued to Lurk and intensify in the shadows.
Raegan had to brace for the worst, ensuring that if she couldnt escape, at least their children would have their father. Parents played an invaluable role. At the very least, Mitchel would be there for their children. If fate dictated they couldnt be together, her biggest hope was Mitchels safety and well-being.
As they walked, Raegan was unaware that tears had begun to stream down her face.
Stefan stopped in front of the car, placing his hands on Raegans shoulders, and drew her close into his embrace. If you need to cry, go ahead, he murmured, looking down at her hair. No one is watching.
Raegans shoulders trembled as she finally let her guard down, crying freely.
Stefan felt saddened to see her cry so much. He gently ran his fingers through her hair, whispering, Why do you always have to be so strong? You dont have to fight battles alone.
He was typically composed and dignified, seldom engaging in such light-hearted banter.
Raegan found her spirits lifted slightly upon hearing his words.
Stefan reassured, Dont fret. Ill make sure to check on his treatment progress.
Stefan felt like he fell short, not as courageous as Mitchel. Mitchel dared to chase after what he loved, while he hesitated to express his feelings. He feared that voicing his feelings for Raegan might cause her to distant herself from him, leaving him in a worse state than now.
Raegan, having cried into his sweater, felt embarrassed. Ill have Victor pick up a new one for you.
Stefan thought if she were the one who bought it, he would cherish it. He smiled and said, No need. Its just a sweater.
Lets head home. He opened the car door for Raegan to enter.
As Stefans car pulled away, the silhouette at the ward window remained.
