As Renata gazed into Aurora's sharp, deep eyes, which seemed to hold a thousand secrets, she felt a flutter of emotions as if part of her soul were caught in a gentle struggle.
Renata waited for Aurora to speak, but she remained silent.
She could now see Aurora wearing the same shocked expression as hers.
"I heard all that you said, Rory! I truly heard it..." Renata went on, tears flowing down her face. She cried a lot, not from sadness but from overwhelming happiness at finally confirming everything that had nearly driven her insane over the past few weeks.
"I know this experience must be absurd to rational people, but I don't care. At least I know your mind and soul have returned to this Earth and live among us, Rory! Even if it is in someone else's body." Renata spoke again as she smiled, looking at Aurora, who finally appeared calm.
