It wasn't enough for him, she didn't say enough. Maybe it never would be enough...
Instantly, Legend shut his eyes tight for what felt like days to him, though it wasn't even a minute. Hoping that when they would open again... He would wake from the nightmare.
But when his sapphire optics opened slightly, they flashed around at the faces around him. They looked to his nephews and neices... To the family he held here... And finally, to Novella once again. He fought back tears that would never come, but his expression had fled them all out.
Without another thought, he pushed through the last remaining wolves in front of him and came inches away from his sister who held the spotlight. It wasn't really "professional" or whatever you want to call it... But hell with that. Who cared. He looked to her and then dropped his head, offering himself as a shoulder to cry on...
Or maybe he just really needed hers.
Their parents had passed... It was all real; this was no dream. And only later would Legend see the light in it. His parents died side by side... Together... To love someone that much must be... Heartbreaking.
