If you have no further questions, then Im going to leave, said Grace as she walked toward the conference rooms door.
However, before her hand touched the door handle, Brian grabbed her.
Grace, do you have to shut me out like this? There was a note of impatience in his voice that was usually calm.
Brian felt a rare sense of anxiety, one that he could not even
articulate.
Grace stared at the handsome face in front of her. His delicate features reminded her of another miniature face.
Back in the woods, the little boy with that face had once held her when she was exhausted from carrying him. Ill be very nice to you. Ill buy you a lot of dresses. Ill take you to eat lots of delicious food. Ill protect you better than anyone else!
She did not take it very seriously at the time. After all, many children forgot what they said the next day.
She then forgot about him and their shared memories after catching a fever.
She was not aware that he had been looking for her for so many years! His obsession was deeper than she had ever
imagined. Only now, his obsession was with Stella.
As for me Ive chosen not to say anything!
He was not the one she loved. If he shifted his obsession to
her, then there would only be more confusion. It might not be a good thing for him.
Grace did not say anything, but the way she looked at him made Brian feel a pang in his heart.
In a trance, it was as if he was seeing the little girl from his childhood staring at him.
Those eyes had appeared in his dreams again and again. He had wondered countless times what those eyes would look like
when she grew up
Brian could not help but raise his hand to caress Graces
eyes
His cool fingers touched her warm skin, making him want to capture more of her warmth.
Grace stiffened as her almond-shaped eyes closed slowly. She could feel his fingers moving over her lids.
Hes Bryn. The Bryn that went through thick and thin with me. It was all a strange combination of circumstances.

It felt like a dream to her!
If I hadnt lost my memories of him because of that high fever and if I had met him before falling in love with Jason, then I wouldve remembered everything
Then maybe we wouldve recognized each other!
However, now
Grace opened her eyes and pulled Brians hand away from hers. Mr. Hart, you should remember what you said on the hill. Were strangers to each other now since weve gotten off
the hill!
Brian shuddered immediately.
He thought he could do it, but now he found it so difficult to
treat her as a stranger.
