In my past life, I had passed up on the acceptance letter to study abroad for Ethan. I gave up on my dreams, my medical career, and my entire life. I once thought staying by his side was happiness. But that happiness was nothing more than a cage disguised as tenderness. Choking back sobs, I said in a trembling voice, "I'm not giving up on it, Mr. Moore… I want to go to Verenza." George was stunned, then broke into a relieved smile. "Really? That's wonderful news! Now this is the Elara I know!"

"I learned to." "You learned to? All of a sudden?" "If I wanted you back, I had to win you back. That takes hard work. " "And if you were to win me back?" "I'd never lose you. Never again." I exhaled, looking at our entertained hands as I rubbed his fingers. "You better do better than four years ago." I finally said. When I met his eyes, he was shocked. Surprised to the core. "You don't want to?" "No!" He said a little too loud for the restaurant, before apologizing. "No. No..." He exhaled a laugh. "Thank you. I'll do better. Way better. "
