"I will go and rest," Cassius said with a gentle push. It was gentle but the push suddenly caused a crack between them, making Arabella to feel that though the distance between them were physically short, the distance between their hearts had suddenly grow and multiply.
"Tomorrow we need to put her in the burial," Cassius then continued, "Tomorrow before the house of her burial, I need to take care of the loose ends."
