The kids were having art class with Mrs. Donner, their main class teacher. The teacher distributed each of the classmates a sheet for the kids to work on for the part of the lesson.
âOkay students, this is a simple task for you. You have there a field with twelve boxes. From A to D and 1 to 3. The sentences on top are telling you, what exactly you have to draw inside those boxes and in what color. Youâll have around 10 minutes to finish this task, then Iâll take it back. After weâre all done, we move up to the next task, which Iâll explain later on,â
The children took a look at their task, seeing small sentences above the box, then Mrs. Donner sat down and picked up her portable, then removed the keyboard to repurpose it into a tablet and shove a cable into it to use it later on. âWhile Iâm quickly inserting the image on the wall, who would like to try to read the first sentence?â Questioned the teacher watching all the kids remain quiet, and glanced at each other to see, who would volunteer to. Cody raised up his hand, making Mrs. Donner smile and move her hand towards the boy.
âNumber one. A3 has aâŠ... red ball...balloon,â Cody read making Mrs. Donner nod.
âSo students, youâve heard it. Look for A3, what do you think, where exactly here on the sheet is A3?â Questioned Mrs. Donner turning on the projector to show the empty chart with the letters on top of it and on the right, vertical side was a number on each row. Rouven raised up his arm, then was picked by the teacher.
âDown there next to the three is A3,â Responded Rouven.
âVery well, Rouven,â Complimented the teacher using her tablet pen to draw a balloon on it, afterward the students did the same while the teacher observed them. About a minute later, the students had glimpsed back at the teacher so they could all continue and Mrs. Donner looked around and watched Ruby Langerak raise up her arm.
âRuby,â Mentioned Mrs. Donner watching the raven-haired girl look down at the sheet to give it a try.
âNumber two. The sun asâŠ.eâŠ.eeâŠ.yellow as a lemon. Y...ou will find it on 1D,â Read Ruby and looked at her teacherâs face, which smiled at the girl.
âVery well, Ruby. What do you think? Where do you find that?â Questioned the teacher and Ruby pointed at the right corner, where the D was under the first box. âExcellent!â Complimented the teacher making the girl smile and pick up a yellow pencil to draw the sun.
Elliot moved his arm up along with Nathalie, Eireen and Debby, thereafter the teacher analyzed the students and tipped at Eireen, which looked down at her sheet to read.
âThree. Birds of every raceâŠ...race?â Questioned Eireen looking at the teacher, which smiled amused at seeing the Danish girl tilt her head confused.
âRace means a type of bird. For example all these gray birds here we see in Paris are one type of race. Theyâre pigeons, then we have the yellow ones, which are known as canaries,â
âOkay,â Responded Eireen. âBirds of every race. On 2C a tri-o of birds fly together. They are black birds,â
âGrandiose,â Complimented the teacher, then Eireen pointed at the middle, then watched her teacher hold her pen above the 2B, then Eireen shook her head and moved her finger aside to see the teacher move forward to the 2C making the kid nod. âPerfect!â Complimented the teacher.
âAlright, what about I now pick somebody on my own?â Questioned Mrs. Donner watching Elliot, Nathalie and Duarte raise up their hands. âYouâre interested, Nathalie?â
âI want to try,â Said Nathalie making the teacher nod.
âGo on,â
âA kid in a pink skâŠ.irt is walking to get the balloon backâŠ...She is at 3B,â Read Nathalie, then looked at the image on the wall and pointed at the empty box beside the ball. âThere next to the ball is the right place,â
âGood job, Nathalie,â Commented the teacher adding into it a stick figure, then watched the class add the last two figurines on their sheets. âI have seen many of you have already practiced at home, before starting the school here,â Mrs. Donner mentioned watching the students nod. âWhoâs up to read the next page? Asked the teacher seeing Duarte along with Deborah moving up their hands and the teacher looked at the boy, to pick him. âDuarte,â
âA brown picnic table is lowâŠ..located under the sun. You will find it on 3D.â Read Duarte, then moved his finger up at the sun and moved it down at the last field making the teacher smile at the correct answer.
âSuperb,â Spoke Mrs. Donner, then looked at Deborah, which moved her hand up hastily making the teacher cackle. âAlright Deborah, itâs up to you to read the last sentence.
âNumber six. It is getting cloudy. Up on 1B, thereâs a gray cloud,â Debby read making the teacher nod, then the girl pointed at the screen. âUp there over the man,â
âExcellent. You all did a good job together,when youâve finished drawing the characters, bring the sheet back to me and Iâll handle you out the next sheet as promised. Oh and donât forget to write down your name,â
âIâm done,â Commented Rouven, then looked back at Eireen and Nathalie, which were still working on their sheet. âYouâre not done yet?â Questioned Rouven watching Eireen put down her pencil.
âI just wrote down my name,â Commented Eireen, then Rouven looked at Nathalie, which was still working on her sheet and Rouven got up to look at the girl.
âHow are you doingâŠ...wow, youâre drawing very good!â Complimented Rouven amazed by her decent art skills.
âWell thank you,â Commented Nathalie as she had drawn a cloud, which had a more realistic look compared to Rouvenâs version. âI sometimes have drawn together with my father during vacation,â
âDid you draw with him a comic book?â Questioned Lukaâs son making Nathalie shake her head.
âMy dad showed me how to draw simple things I could learn fast. Three or more drawings I have sent to my mother, when she was back in Italy to work,â Explained Nathalie.
âYour mother loved them, right?â Questioned Eireen making Nathalie nod.
âDad likes the previous homework from the other day. This one he will love a well. At the moment I donât know about my mother. She doesnât have any memory of us yet,â
âShe may like it, but itâs going to be different I feel,â Mentioned Nathalie, then moved up at the corner to write down her name.
âYour mother will be okay. I asked my father about what your mother has and he told me it takes a while for her to recovery. We just have to be patient,â Zheng mentioned looking back at the girl.
âThank you, Zheng,â Commented Nathalie getting up to bring the sheet back to the teacher encountering Elliot on the front along with Ruby.
âUh how is your mommy doing?â Questioned Elliot scratching the back of his neck. âIs she doing well?â
âShe doesnât remember us, but sheâs healthy,â Answered Nathalie, then Ruby placed her hand on Nathalieâs shoulder.
âYou have to think positive. It helps you better to get through this. Youâre not alone there at your house there. Your dad and maybe friends are there too for help, right?â
âMy mother is her motherâs best friend,â Commented Elliot. âAnd Rouvenâs dad grew up together with Nathalieâs dad,â
âOh cool,â Commented Ruby and took along with the kids the sheet they will have to work on later. âWhat do you think? Could we become friends?â Questioned the Swedish girl making Nathalie think about it and nodded.
âYes,â Responded Nathalie making Ruby smile, which opened her arms and both shared a hug.
The rest of the class picked up their next task as they retrieved back their previous exercise and awaited Mrs. Donnerâs preparations to continue.
âOkay children, this sheet here is about the European cup from last Summer in Croatia. The first page contains about five question you have to answer and on the backside you have to draw three different things related to this topic. The easiest one is to draw your native countryâs flag on task A. Task B youâll have to draw the symbol of your team and C the is to try to do the lines of your country,â Explained Mrs. Donner making Rouven chuckle.
âHey Nathalie, will you do Italy?â Questioned the boy looking at the girl, which shrugged her shoulders. âItâs a boot actually,â
âItâs up to her,â Commented the teacher. âAfter all, many of you here are multicultural,â
Ruby moved her hand up, so she would get picked by the teacher.
âSo since both my parents have two nationalities and I have four, I will have to pick only one?â
âYes, which country of them do you feel more attached to?â Questioned the teacher making Ruby shrug her shoulders.
âI donât know, to be honest. Maybe Sweden,â Responded Ruby, then Duarte moved his hand up in the air.
âMrs. Donner, Mrs. Donner,â
âYes, Duarte,â
âI have no idea how to draw the Portugal flag properly. Is this bad?â
âNo itâs not. Just do it the way you can or took a look on the real flag and follow it as good as you can. It doesnât have to look perfect,â Commented the teacher.
âI donât find Portugal so hard to draw,â Added Zheng. âImagine you had to draw Croatia or something,â Added Zheng, then he had a question as well and moved his hand up. âWait, what about me. Iâm not from here,â
âI know, you can still draw your country if you want. Just the front page is solely about the countries from our last tournament,â
âWell, I think Iâm going to pick France or Croatia,â Commented Zheng, then watched the kids look down at their sheets, then a few turned the sheet around to begin with the drawing, while the others started at the front.
Eireen looked at Nathalie, which was observing her sheet, and nudged her with the elbow.
âIâm curious about what youâre going to pick,â Mentioned Eireen.
âI canât decide, if I should pick Italy or Germany. What do you think is the best choice?â
âI donât know. Maybe Italy?â Suggested Eireen, then Rouven looked back at the girls again.
âWhat about Germany? That would be something different I think,â
âI think I know more about Italy. Iâve never been in Germany like the times Iâve been in Italy. My dad also doesnât have a lot to say about Germany. He grew up most of his life here. I will probably pick Italy,â
âGreat, will you pick Denmark or France?â Asked Rouven looking at his cousin.
âI think Denmark,â Commented Eireen. âOriginally I am Danish. I just got into this city because of the social people,â
âWhat are those?â Questioned Nathalie confused.
âI donât know if this is the right name, but they take us to a new home, where we live with other kids, that donât have parents as well,â Explained Eireen making Nathalie nod, which picked up her pencil to read the first sentence.
âFavorite country,â Read Nathalie and wrote down on the paper the name of her motherâs country.
-----------------
Adrien Agreste arrived sitting inside the car at the entrance of the parking spot of the Agreste manor, then rolled forward to the side of the stairs and turned the engine off. Adrien removed his seat belt, then jumped out of the car and sprinted the stairs up and entered into the hall of the manor, then whistled.
âGuess whoâs back!â Announced Adrien looking around, then saw the door to the dinning room had a small open gap, afterward opened it to find at the other end of the table Elliot doing his homework while beside him sat Hope Agreste as well doing hers as well. âHey Elliot,â Greeted Adrien earning the sonâs attention, which smiled at his fatherâs presence.
âHi Dad, Iâm still doing my homework,â Commented the son, then Adrien walked across the dinning room to get to his son, then pecked him on the side of his forehead and looked at his sheet.
âWhat are you drawing?â Questioned Adrien, then Hope held up her smartphone to show it to her older brother. âYouâve received homework related to soccer? Nice,â
âIâm trying to draw the symbol of France as good as I can,â Commented Elliot looking down at the oddly looking stripes, that were supposed to form the rooster on the chevron. âIâm not as good at drawing as Nathalie, but this does look like a rooster, right?â
âIt looks good. You know with more practice you can make improve and make it more closer to the original. Important is, that your teacher will know, what it is and I can recognize it,â
âI just have to finish painting the blue background, then Iâm finished for today,â Mentioned Elliot making Adrien nod.
âThatâs all for today?â Questioned Adrien making the boy nod. âWow, this means we can both spend some time together as I promised, right?â
âYes, papa,â Commented Elliot, then the brother looked down at the sister, which was doing the geography homework by herself.
âHope, have you seen Kagami?â Questioned Adrien, then Hope pointed up at the top.
âSheâs up there with a woman, because of the puppies,â Stated Hope, then Adrien nodded and left, to go upstairs so he would meet his wife along with the dogs. After his arrival in their bedroom, he encountered a foreign woman held in her arms one of the puppies while Kagami stood in front of her.
âGood afternoon,â Greeted Adrien looking at the two women, while making Kagami smile.
âOne of the first puppies has already found her home,â Commented Kagami making Adrien smile, then the woman showed the blonde her puppy.
âI named her Jade,â Commented the woman, while Adrien smiled.
âHow was the exam?â Questioned Kagami. âWeâve been talking a little bit about medicine. Sheâs one of the rescuers from the air rescue team at the airport,â
âOh cool, I had no idea,â Said Adrien approaching the women. âThis means this little girl here will be able to help out other people in danger,â
âIndeed,â Commented the woman.
âAre you going anywhere?â Questioned Kagami making Adrien nod.
âI thought about going to the park with Elliot,â Mentioned Adrien. âYouâve got something else in mind?â
âI thought about the park too, but we should take the puppies with us. The bodyguard already left them out on the backyard a few times. A bigger outlet for them would be good too,â
âOkay. They could need it,â Admitted Adrien. âBut what about Elliot? I had promised him to spend the day with him,â
âMaybe your mother or father can come with us. So you and Elliot can focus on your time together and we are around with the puppies making sure theyâre not misbehaving or anything,â
âOkay and if you need help, weâre around,â Stated Adrien, then turned around to leave the bedroom and encountered on the commode of their clothings their cat Shadow lying on top of it thereafter Adrien placed his hand over the petâs head to caress him.
âWhat a life youâve got there, little guy,â Commented Adrien watching the cat yawn and stretch his front paws showing off his claws, making Adrien grin. âReally cute, he heâs got his claws out,â Commented Adrien followed by a chuckle making Adrien wide his eyes in shock and he ran out, followed by transforming into Cat Noir leaving Kagami back which flinched her teeth together at the presence of the woman and noticed, that luckily the woman had been with her eyes glued on the little puppy she had on her arms. Kagami sighed about the sudden transformation, caused by the kwami.
---------------------------
Later at the Champs de Mars, Adrien, Kagami, Hope, Elliot, Emilie and the puppies walked all together along the path across the park. Each of the person guided a puppy on the leash watching the puppies walk a little hasty due to their curiosity of the new place. Elliot was the only one, who didnât guide a dog, but observed his father and his younger sister trying to bend the puppy they led.
âTheyâre quite interested in the new place here,â Stated Adrien making Kagami chuckle at Adrienâs low knowledge about dog walking.
âYou would need to call his attention. You need to tell him, itâs not good for him,â Spoke Kagami making Adrien nod, which stopped watching the puppy continue, then notice the leash wouldnât let him continue. The puppy looked back at Adrien, which shook his head.
âNo, youâre going to fast,â Mentioned Adrien watching the puppy stand while looking at him. âThatâs better,â Spoke Adrien, then Kagami lend Adrien from a small bag, she had attached on her belt a small dog snack, which Adrien used it to gift it to the puppy. âHere, you deserve one,â
âElliot, what has your father planned to play with you?â Questioned Emilie looking at her grandson, which shrugged his shoulders.
âHe said, we would see it when we got here,â Responded Elliot, then the family moved further along the path, then the grandmother noticed the signs pointing at different ways and found one, which led to a playground,â
âOh Elliot, what about you go with your father to a playground?â Questioned the blonde woman. âOr the field behind it?â
âCool,â Said Elliot, then grabbed his father on the arm and pointed at the signs. âDad, can we go to the playground?â
âOh sure, Elliot,âAgreed the father, then watched Elliot ran off and Adrien ran behind his son on the other path, that led the duo to a park, where already were children playing and a few parents stood on the outside glimpsing through the large fence looking at them.
âHey, whatâs that spinning circle over there?â Asked Adrien pointing at a spinning climbing frame, where three kids already were on and had enough space for at least four more.
âCan I go there?â Asked Elliot making Adrien smile.
âWill you like to have your old man there?â Questioned the Frenchman making Elliot chuckle.
âYouâre not that old, dad,â Said Elliot grabbing Adrien by his hand, then entered into the playground to approach the climbing frame, which had stopped as one of the kids noticed the two approach.
âYou want to come?â Questioned the brunette boy on the device making Elliot nod.
âCan my dad come too?â Questioned Elliot making the kid nod, then Adrien helped Elliot climb on the net to hold himself.
âCan your father pull this for us all?â Asked the brunette kid, then Elliot looked at his father which nodded.
âSure, how exactly do I have to do this? I never played this before,â
âYou have to hold it and ran around making this spin around, then you jump on it and hold yourself fast on the cord,â Explained the kid. âItâs easy,â
âGood, I give it a try,â Said Adrien grabbing the edge of the thick rope, then began to push it, to make it spin around, afterward he ended up tripping leaving the kids spin only one circle around making two of the kids chuckle. Adrien got up on his feet, then wiped the dust off his legs looking at the amused kidâs faces after seeing the adultâs mishap. âDonât worry. Iâm trying again,â Said Adrien grabbing the net, where the kids stood, afterward he had a plan and placed his right foot on top of the rope. âIâm going to do it this way, kids,â Warned Adrien, then moved his foot against the ground to swing on it around. The kids began to laugh excited at the ride, giving Adrien the joy to carry on with his ride, afterward Adrien got on top of the device holding himself tight on it and grinned as he felt the air blew his hair aside due to the spinning.
âWoohoo!â Chanted the kids happily along with Elliot. He looked back at his father, which had joy from the ride, afterward both blondes exchanged looks and Adrien nodded and stepped with one foot down on the floor again to push forward to speed their ride up a little. The joy of the kids raised making Adrien happy, which continued to step on the ground and returned up.
âThis is amazing!â Announced Adrien happy, then got down again to repeat the move again and jumped up at the rope to spin around.
Afterward, Adrien got down again making a bad step and trip to fall down on the ground lying on top of the fall protection, and began to laugh.
âMan, that was funny,â Commented Adrien, then watched Elliot on the carousel jump off it on top of his father, making him puff as the boy landed on his stomach. âHey my stomach,â Complained Adrien making Elliot giggle.
âLetâs do it again!â Asked Elliot watching Adrien get up, then helped his son up, afterward two new kids showed up to climb up on the carousel and an older, blonde man grabbed on the side to help them spin.
âOh Elliot look, we gotta go somewhere else,â Commented Adrien showing his son the news kids, which got on top of it.
âLetâs do something else,â Mentioned Elliot, then Adrien placed his hand behind Elliotâs back and walked along the park, then they passed by the basketball field, where they saw on one side a small teeny group of boys play with each other on two baskets placed on the half side of the field. On the other half, the three baskets were taken by a few kids, that were there with two other adults fathers and a woman playing basketball in a smaller group.
âI havenât brought the ball with us, you think theyâll let us play with them?â Questioned Adrien looking at Elliot, which looked at the persons on the field and recognized one of the kids, that had received from her father a high five.
âDad, that girl over there is from my class. Her name is Deborah,â Introduced Elliot making Adrien smile.
âWhy donât you ask her?â Questioned Adrien, then Elliot got into the field to look at the girl, which watched her own father dribble in front of her. Afterward, the girl noticed Elliot, then waved at him with a smile.
âHello Elliot,â Greeted the girl, then the light-blonde father looked back along with the girl at the boy.
âHello Deborah, can we play together basketball?â Questioned Elliot. âWe forgot our ball at home,â
âIs that okay, dad?â Questioned Deborah making her father nod, which held out his hand towards Adrien, which smiled to greet the adult.
âIâm David,â Announced Deborahâs dad.
âIâm Adrien, nice to meet you,â Responded Elliotâs father, then Deborah held up the ball up to show it the two adults.
âI and my dad play against you and Elliot, is that okay?â Questioned Deborah making Elliot nod, then she handed the ball out to the classmate and the two dads walked to the near of the baskets watching the two kids in the middle get ready to start the match together.
Monday morning, the rumors start. No one knows who the source is, all they know is that one minute, no one was saying their names in the same sentence, and the next, everyone seemed unable to separate them. They start off innocent enough, with someone remarking that they saw Lila talking to Nathaniel in the courtyard. Then it changes to Nathaniel openly showing Lila his sketchbook (which, heâs never done for anyone, people add as a quiet afterthought).
And then it grows, bigger and bigger until, by the end of the day, Nathaniel had supposedly been serenading Lila until she was blushing to the tip of the roots.
On Tuesday, people are remarking that Lila agreed to go on a date with him. âThat fancy restaurant not to far from here,â they comment, making the listener raise their eyebrows in astonishment. âI reckon itâll be a date for the stars.âÂ
All of Wednesday is spent debating what Lila will wear. âThat green dress that goes well with her eyes,â they remark, âor maybe that skirt she likes so much.â
Itâs discussed on Thursday exactly what both of them will order. âChoucroute garnie for her,â someone whispers, âand gratin dauphinois for him.â
A group of students spot Lila and Nathaniel at the circus Friday night, watching as they laugh at the performances and share their snacks.
It has been four years since he last asked for a second chance. Five years since they broke up, and here today Lila got a call from Sabrina.
âHey, Lila I got a question for you. I know youâre a wedding planner and I was wondering if you would like to help plan Chloe and Nathanielâs wedding?â
Lilaâs grip on her phone tighten. If she doesnât stop her phone soon might break. With a look of anger and sadness, she responds. âI would love to,â Lila lied.
In fact, she not sure if she ever wants to see Nathaniel again. Thereâs a reason she broke up with him and didnât give him a second chance.
Back in university, they were happy, young, and in love. At least they thought they were. Late in their final year in university they both got a once in a lifetime chance. Unfortunately, it meant that they had to move.
Both got invited to join a paid internship. One was in London and the other in Italy. For Lila, itâs like returning home, which is true since she was born in Italy. Nathaniel didnât want to miss his chance either.
One night they talked about their golden opportunity. Nathaniel has been thinking about it all day. Should he go with Lila or try to see if she will go with him.
He didnât want either one to miss out on this internship that could help both their career once they graduate. Since they both are the same time to stay together one will have to miss out. In bed, before they go to sleep, they talked.
âI know this is a good thing for both of us, in many ways. The fact that we are the ones they choose also means something,â Lila started.
âThink about what this could do for our future,â she finished.
âThe thing is we both canât go and still live together,â Nathaniel whispers.
âUnless we can come up with something,â he finished.
They both sigh and Lila rest her head on his shoulder. Nathaniel puts his arm around her.
âHow long is your internship?â Nathaniel asked.âThree months. The thing is I already agreed,â Lila drop a bomb. âYou already agreed. Why?â Nathaniel is not happy. âIâm sorry. I didnât know you would get offered an internship until we talked about it during lunch.â
After that, they got into a fight and broke up that night. During the day instead of going to school, Lila packed up her things and left. Nathaniel came home after classes to only his stuff in the apartment.
No note or anything. Nathaniel knew she was going to leave just not so soon. Her internship doesnât even start until next month, just like his. Nathaniel did try to get back together with Lila for a year before he realized that itâs not going to happen and gave up.
Now heâs getting married and to Chloe. For some reason, Lila was feeling hurt. Maybe she wants him back, or sheâs upset that sheâs still single. It could be that Lila regrets letting him go. Sure she had some boyfriends over the years, but none of them was like Nathaniel.
âI wonder if he still has those drawings he did of me? He used to draw me all the time. Calling me his muse. Is Chloe his muse now?â Lila sighs.
Her anger fades away as she reminisced about her time with Nathaniel and sadness takes over. Tears fall down her face as she covers it with her hands. That night Lila couldnât sleep. Sadly in the morning, she supposed to meet the happy couple and Sabrina. She wonders if Nathaniel knows that Lila will be help planning his wedding.
In the morning Lila was very tired since she only got like two hours of sleep, is drinking coffee mixed with some brandy. The only way she will be able to get through this without making an ass of herself. That is what she hopes for anyway.
Five till 9 they arrive. Chloe and Nathaniel are holding hands making Lila feel sick. Sabrina is full of smiles as she opens the door for them. Lila was surprised when Chloe thanked Sabrina for anything let alone opening the door for her.
Another big sip from her mug Lila prepares herself. As soon as they entered Nathaniel stares right at Lila, who is purposely looking away from him. Acting busy by writing something but really nothing down. Nathaniel just stares at her, while his grip on Chloeâs hand tightens a bit. Enough for her to notice.
âIs something wrong,â she whispers.
After a few small breaths, Nathaniel loosens his grip. âIâm fine. Just something from the past came up unexpectedly,â he whispers back.
Chloe understands how hard the past can be at times. All three seat down in the chairs in front of Lilaâs desk.
âWould anyone like anything to drink?â Lila asked.
âNo thank you,â all three said at once.
Chloe has changed since Lila last talk to her. âFirst of all I would like to say congratulations to the happy couple,â Lila always says that.
The smiles on their faces made Lilaâs stomach flip. She fights back her unhappiness.
âSecond I would like to ask you two a few questions about the wedding,â Lila starts typing on her keyboard.
After the questions, they started working on a game plan. Things like type of wedding, in or outside, any particular place to have the wedding, flowers, colors, invitations, stuff like that.
The whole time Nathaniel and Lila refuse to look at each other. Everything was fine until their eyes met when they were wrapping up. âIs there a restroom I can use?â Chloe asked.
Lila showed her where it is, and Chloe with Sabrina entered. The two are alone and Lila all out of her special coffee. âLooks like youâre doing well,â Nathaniel tries to make small talk.
Both found it very hard to do. Lila thinks she should at least try to make small talk. âThanks. I could say the same to you.â
âI guess you could say that. Iâm getting married when a nice job,â Nathaniel smiles. âThings are looking goodâŠâ âWhy are you marrying her?â Lila didnât notice she snap at him.
Nathaniel stands up, âI love her for starters. We are perfect for each other for another.â
âYou said the same thing to me once,â Lila now stands up.
âI was wrong. We werenât perfect for each other. Chloe talks to me before making any life-changing decision. While you on the other hand.â Nathaniel stops talking when he hears Chloe and Sabrina enter the room.
âI think we should meet at least once a week to plan the wedding,â Chloe suggested as she goes and hugs her fiance, causing Lilaâs heart to break a little.
The happy couple leave with Sabrina and Lila locks the door. She closes early; she needs time to herself. âIt appears Nathaniel still mad the internship I accepted. It was so long ago, so why does it still bother him?â Lila canât believe that everything ended due to one fight.
âMaybe if I gave him a second chance it would be me not Chloe marrying him in six months,â she sighs.
âWhy do I care? Maybe I still love him.â She hugs her pillow closely fighting back the tears. âI still think things would be different if I werenât single,â she speaks in a hushed tone.
