Don't forget to check out the cover reveal for the anthology, they are BEAUTIFUL!
Now let's go back to our story.
Summary of previous episodes: Clarissa is coughing and wanted to watch Everett Cooper on TV but Jason refused, she is due to get her rainbow the next day but she seems scared, to make her feel better Jason leave the TV on. Clarissa tried to explain about rainbows, she is a big fan of Everett Cooper but Jason is not too sure about it. Clarissa complained about her dialophone but Jason needs to go to work. Before completely leaving he is thinking about getting her her rainbow. We flashed back to the meeting Jason had with a rainbow seller at the black market. Jason left Clarissa's room to go to work. Jason was talking to his boss about the rainbow coming the next day. Jason prepared the money for the rainbow in a sport bag.
Out of two years savings that small amount would soon be the last swans he would have. He still needed to work two more years to pay for Clarissa’s hospital bills but it was worth it. Her heart had no price and no efforts were too big to save her.
He walked out of the room, the first sun was already high in the sky, but the second was still sleeping. He hated this time of the year. The night was so short that he felt he never had enough time to rest.
“Good morning,” Clarissa greeted him.
He wondered why she always was so energetic in the morning.
