“If you want to see me cry, I’ll cry. His voice once again rang in the air.

Her eyes widened in shock, and her face was in disbelief. Did he say… He would cry?

“What’s the matter?” he asked with a smile.

“You said, you…”

“If you want to see it, I’ll do it, I’ll try my best to do whatever you want,” he said as he bent down slowly, his handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes.

Grace stared blankly at his face that was so close to hers. Her face was reflected in his dark pupils. He smiled and talked with a serious expression as if all she had to do was say ‘yes’ and he would cry and shed tears.

“Do you?” His voice rang again in her ear. His whispers were like the most touching sweet nothings.

Grace shook her head and replied, “No.”

Her answer put a flash of doubt in his eyes. “Why?”

“Because I’ll be distressed. If you cry, it means you’re very upset, and I don’t want to see you upset,” she said.

Now, the woman in front of him said she would be distressed for him.

This was… The woman he fell in love with. She was probably the only person in the world who would be distressed for him.

He kissed her lips tenderly, turning and sucking as if he was going to finish all his love in this lifetime.

“Only you, Grace… I only have you…” He had always been alone in the world, and now, there was her.

With her around, he would not be so lonely…

The next day, when Grace returned to the small restaurant after delivering food, she found Brian sitting at the table in the small restaurant.

Kyla Corbyn walked over to Grace’s side and whispered, “Brian has been here for a while. He’s here for you.”

Taking a deep breath, Grace walked to Brian’s table and met his eyes. “How can I help you, Mr. Hart?”

“I forgot my manners last night,” said Brian. Yesterday was the day the little girl carried him down the hill and also the day he was separated from her.
