Chapter 1

Today marked the fifth anniversary of my relationship with Andrea Hill. I'd reached out to all our friends and family ahead of time and gotten everything ready.

I'd filled the space downstairs from our apartment with flowers and candles to let everyone know I was planning to propose to Andrea.

After I had everyone come over two hours in advance, I made sure they gathered downstairs at my apartment complex. We waited for hours, and before we knew it, it was already midnight.

Some people were so tired that they'd started grumbling to me. Tony Baird's wife had already dozed off standing up, slumped against his shoulder, but Andrea was still nowhere to be seen.

The little fairy lights I'd bought were flickering out one by one as their batteries died.

I called Andrea over and over, but she just wouldn't pick up. Just as I was about to send everyone home, Andrea finally appeared.

She arrived in a taxi, and climbing out after her was Spencer Metcalf, her one that got away.

Spencer had that cool, aloof air about him. Moonlight dappled his white shirt, and his slender frame still made him look younger than he was.

I, on the other hand, had been saving every penny to buy a house and give Andrea a good life, so I was dressed in the plainest clothes imaginable.

I'd always known Andrea had loved Spencer since they were kids.

Since Spencer was three years ahead of us at school, he'd graduated long before us. And just like Andrea, he was passionate about photography.

They shared that passion, and whenever they were together, they always had plenty to talk about. The moment I saw him, an uneasy feeling settled inside me.

Andrea seemed to be in a real hurry. She practically speed-walked toward the building entrance, so much so that she didn't even notice us just a dozen feet away.

I couldn't help calling out, "Andrea!"

Only after hearing someone call her name did Andrea finally turn around. She narrowed her eyes slightly, then realized it was me.

The lively expression on her face suddenly turned cold.

She took in the elaborate proposal setup I'd put together for her, but her face showed no trace of joy.

My friend Tony nudged his wife, Anya Madden, and she woke with a start.

She blurted out, "Andrea, you're finally here! Do you have any idea how long Vincent's been waiting for you? He's been here since 7:00 pm! Why didn't you answer his calls? If you'd taken any longer, we'd all have been gone."

For some reason, Andrea looked a little annoyed when she heard that. She shot back, "Anya, I never asked any of you to wait around for me."

Anya's smile faltered. She suddenly found herself at a loss for words. All of us, myself included, were caught off guard.

Andrea suddenly directed her anger at me. "Vincent Shafer, why'd you have to propose today of all days? Don't you know that I've been swamped lately?"

Her questions left my mind blank. I stepped forward, wanting to ask, "Wasn't this what you wanted?"

But before I could speak, Spencer's voice cut through the air. "Andie, we're going to be late."

Spencer's words immediately drew Andrea's full attention. She turned to Spencer and said softly, "Okay."

When she looked back at me, hesitation flickered in her gaze. In the end, she just said, "Vincent, I've got things to do today. Let's save the proposal for another day."

She spun around and rushed into the building, leaving me standing there, looking like a complete fool. No one had any idea what was going on.

As I turned to Spencer, he gave me a mild, seemingly harmless smile. "Vincent, you don't mind lending me your girlfriend for a few days, do you? I'm the new guy in Andie's photography department, and the company's sending us on a business trip. Our flight takes off shortly."

    I never imagined that my actions would end up costing Vincent his whole life.When I was in Ivalor, I never expected that the day Vincent and I said goodbye would become the last time we ever existed together in his memories.I had said goodbye to the 18-year-old version of me that Vincent had kept in his memories. Once I got together with Spencer, our relationship wasn't nearly as wonderful as I'd imagined.He still did whatever he wanted and never made the slightest effort to accommodate me. I was nothing more than a small, insignificant part of his life.But in Vincent's eyes, I had been his whole world. That meant that I'd thrown my whole world away.The decision to break up with Spencer came after I caught him with another woman. Only later did I realize how rotten he was at his core, and that he would never change.I'd once tried so hard to become part of his world. But in the end, all I wanted was to find my way back to Vincent.A month later, I came back to the place whe

    And I, too, had finally moved on from the past.After Andrea left, I found out that Jason had been shouldering the burden of supporting the two of us all these years.He was the one who'd been searching for doctors for me all along. In his heart, someone as young as me simply shouldn't have had to suffer from such a disease so soon.He'd always been hoping I'd visit his place again for a drink, and that we'd get the chance to watch a race together someday.Although we'd given up racing a long time ago, there was no harm in watching a race and fulfilling a wish we'd never gotten around to. It gave the two of us something to enjoy together as well.That day, we took a case of beer up into the mountains and stayed there from midnight until dawn. We watched the entire race from the hillside, then sat together and watched the sun come up.Watching the sunrise became our way of saying goodbye to the past. As long as life went on, so would fate. With that in mind, I went on to live out

    Jason was a businessman through and through, so he figured out what Andrea was getting at almost instantly.Without a second thought, he pulled out a card and tossed it at Andrea. "Take this. Use it."Tears suddenly welled up in Andrea's eyes. She wanted to thank him a thousand times over, but she didn't even know where to begin.Jason said helplessly, "I know you want to help Vincent, but you have to know your limits. And there's something you need to understand. This disease is simply next to incurable. Still, Vincent once saved my life, so whatever you need, as long as it's within my means, don't hesitate to ask."With a definite answer at last, Andrea couldn't hide how thankful she felt. But once she was gone, Jason sighed helplessly. He knew Andrea was basically throwing herself into a hopeless situation. But deep down, he hoped that one day, I'd really come to my senses again.Andrea began going from hospital to hospital, actively asking doctors about cases like mine and sea

    Even after getting caught, Spencer still looked utterly arrogant.He shot Andrea a cold look, a mocking laugh escaping his lips. "Andrea, you really think way too highly of yourself. Since when have I ever needed to rely on anyone else?"Sounds to me like you're delusional, just like that fool in the wheelchair."I watched as Andrea's expression slowly turned cold. Never in a million years had she imagined Spencer was this kind of person.She'd simply been blind when she was younger, spending so long thinking Spencer was better than me.After Andrea kicked Spencer out, she abruptly sank to the floor and burst into tears. Maybe this life really had worn her down. Otherwise, she wouldn't have completely broken down like that over Spencer's cruel words.Maybe Andrea had had it the hardest in our relationship. After all, she'd always been torn between two men.She'd missed out on the version of me who was still in his right mind and fallen for the reckless, wild Spencer instead. So

    That day, I was sitting in the care facility courtyard, soaking up the sun, when a woman with a sorrowful look suddenly barged in.She hurried over and stared intently at my face before exclaiming, "Vincent!"I had no idea who Vincent was, so I lowered my head and ignored her. Everyone there called me Vince. And I didn't know who she was talking to.When she came up to me and tried to touch me, I yelled, "Who are you? Why are you touching me?"Startled by my reaction, she backed off and stood a few feet away, fumbling for words but too afraid to come any closer.The doctors and nurses noticed the commotion, but they were already used to seeing things like this. They didn't recognize the woman, so one of them approached her to ask."Hello, miss. Could you tell me what your relationship with Mr. Shafer is?"Andrea managed a smile. "I'm his…"The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out. And really, who was she to me now?Andrea thought it over for a lon

    Andrea added, "The doctor said you have severe hypoglycemia. If I hadn't gotten you to the hospital in time, you could've died."I stayed silent as I more or less knew why. My memory had been getting worse these past few days. I kept forgetting whether I'd eaten or not, so I'd eat when I was hungry and skip meals when I wasn't. And lately, I'd been feeling so down that I just didn't feel like eating.As my memory continued to deteriorate, I was finding it harder and harder to remember things. Sometimes it felt like I couldn't even get a complete sentence out anymore.A sudden, unsettling thought crossed my mind. I might already be in the late stages of the disease. As it progressed, I'd lose more and more of my memories, forget everyone I knew, and eventually lose my ability to speak. At that point, there'd be no point in continuing treatment.As such, I turned back to Andrea and said, "Fine. We're even."By the time I was done talking, I didn't feel a thing anymore. Andrea, on th
