Lysander retorted, “Do you mean to say that I should be the one expressing my gratitude?”

“No, there’s no need for your gratitude. I just hope you could be a little less guarded toward me.”

It was fine when he didn’t say this. But after he did, Lysander slightly moved back, creating a distance. between them.

“When my father passed away, my mother was still pregnant with me. Upon hearing the tragic news of father’s death, my mother fainted and nearly lost her life along with mine.

“Lysander, you might not want to hear what I’m about to say next, but I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again, so I must say it. Ever since we parted, I’ve told myself countless times to let go, to give you
