(Camila's POV)I personally brought the donation of goods to the rescue center.The company's delivery truck where I purchased the sacks of cat and dog food delivered them to the rescue facility. They followed the car I was driving in order to find the location where they would drop them off.The sanctuary's men and helpers assisted in receiving the goods.I also monitored and double-checked the items if they were complete and of in good and high quality condition. And as of the moment, I didn't encounter any issue with my purchases."Camila…"I looked at the man and owner of the rescue center who just came to check in here, too.I smiled. "Trey, hi!""This is a big help and a very kind action of your compassionate heart. The angels will surely love them and they will be forever grateful," he sincerely thanked.I nodded. "Welcome. For the rescued ones here, as much as I can and I have the blessings to give, I'm very happy to share.""You're very kind and generous, Maam! Surely, your h
"Thanks, Trey, for driving me home and for everything. For your love, as well," I said when we stopped until in front of the gate of my house.We were still holding hands, and it was as if we both didn't want this night to end. We always wanted to stay this way forever and never gonna let go of each other's hands ever again.He embraced me and I could just submit. I wanted to be in his arms just as much as he wished to me being locked in his embrace.He kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes gently, totally accepting and cherishing his loveliness.When we let go of that hug, he remained close and held my waist."I love you, Camila. And I'll never want to let you go this time around," he declared and made a vow while sincerely looking into my eyes.I reciprocated the same amount of love and sincerity. He always deserves the best, and deserves to be loved unconditionally."And I love you more, Trey. I promise I will never let go of your hand again.""You do?" He wanted to make sure.I
"Yes, Camila. You are right. I am not Trey. I'm Noah—your fiancé."I couldn't believe it, but soon as he confirmed it, all my inhibitions went away with the air and I threw myself on him. I gave him an emotional, tight embrace. How I missed Noah!He responded with a tender hug. I knew he also missed me the way I missed him. I could feel it, especially with the beat of his heart I could hear because I was burying my ear into his chest.When we were over the hug but still remained close with each others' bodies, I caressed his cheek. His eyes seemed to be sad for a very long time."I missed you so much, Noah.""I missed you, Camila. I have missed you for so long…""H-ow did it happen, anyway? How were you able to come back? Is this even possible? You're alive, Noah?""I have always been with you, Camila. I never left. I am always alive, in your heart…"I felt so heavy with those heartilly words and with those lonely eyes. I gave him a hug once again. And he responded to it."Now that I'
"You just creeped me out, what the f*ck?!" I cussed unintentionally and it was purely because of my initial reaction upon shock.Mom raised her hands, making a humorous gesture of giving up and not fighting while chuckling because she had unintentionally scared me!"Chill, dear! I'm sorry, okay?""Mom, it was you! I thought it was a ghost!" I said, feeling guilty and regretful.She smiled.I hugged her. "I'm sorry, mom."She caressed my back upon responding to my hug. "It's alright, dear. No problem. I understand.""Anyway, what are you doing here?" I asked when the hug was over."Well, you have mentioned to me in our call early this morning that you're going to visit Noah, and I immediately knew which place you were talking about. So, I decided to come, too, and followed you. And of course, to visit him as well since he had been long gone," she explained.Oh now, I got it. I nodded. We both continued to look at the sea while silently talking to Noah's soul where he was last seen bef
"I'm sorry…" I said."What are you apologizing for?" Trey asked."Because I've been thinking about the past, particularly about my late fiancé while with you. I shouldn't be doing it. I shouldn't reminisce and instead focus on the present, focus on you.""You're thinking about Noah?"I nodded guiltily. "Yeah.""It's alright. No issue with that," he assured me and drew me closer to him."Still, I should be sensitive and think only about you, especially when we're together."He put his arm around my shoulders and caressed my hair.We watched the scenic view together."Why? Does this place remind you about him?" he continued to ask while our eyes were still at the mountains.I nodded honestly. "This became one of our memorable places together because there was once a time that we were riding at a school bus, going on a school trip but we were left by that bus in here, so, instead of blaming each other and getting ourselves into a nonsense fight, we took that as an opportunity to enjoy an
I was so shocked upon hearing from Trey revealing that he had the same nightmare I had on the same night! "W-hat? You j-ust had a nightmare exactly as mine that very exact night, too?"He nodded surely. "Yes. I dreamed about coming back to your place and then we walked together to the shore, but later on, I realized it wasn't me you were with all along but it was rather Noah. I was only watching you two from afar and I tried calling you, shouting your name, going and running to you to get you but I couldn't move my feet and there was no voice coming out from my mouth no matter how hard I tried to make a sound. It was as if I had been silenced and I was chained on my feet. I really wanted to save you, to protect you and to take you away from him but then there was nothing I could do…"Hearing all of them, and realizing that I had been experiencing a similar nightmare he had, caused me goosebumps. And how we couldn't be together in both our nightmares!I felt my throat starting to get s
"How have you been, Abi?" I asked.Actually, I was really ready to face her anger. If she would be rude to me, it would absolutely be okay and I would accept it without getting mad. After all, I deserved getting the subject of their anger because of what I did to them years back.But instead of rolling her eyes and ignoring me, like what I expected, she actually did the opposite. She smiled a little but it was genuine and there wasn't any hint of sarcasm. "I've been doing great, Camila. How about you? How are you? Wow! I didn't expect I would see you here today! It has been such a while since the last time I, I mean we, saw you."I wasn't able to speak at first or comprehend because I was trying to sink it into my mind. She didn't get angry. She was actually nice and she didn't seem to have any kind of bad blood on me.About to answer her, Barbara talked, trying to pull her. "Abigail, let's go!"But Abigail cooly smiled and gestured my direction. "Can't you see? I'm still talking to C
"Are you going to choose me or Noah?""Trey, why are you asking this kind of question?"He shrugged his shoulders. "I just thought about it, totally out of the blue." He looked away. "If you don't like it, I'm sorry. And if you don't want to answer, it's alright. I would understand—""It's you, Trey." I cut him off. I knew he was dismissing it because he thought I couldn't answer directly, but actually, I could because I knew very well what I wanted.I wouldn't want him to think that it was necessary to dismiss it without getting answered, and then later on, we are going to be feeling awkward towards each other, most especially from his side because it was him that asked such question."It's you that I'm going to choose, Trey, if I have to pick between you and Noah," I continued.He was staring at me, yet I could see from his eyes that though he wasn't saying anything, I knew, and I could feel that he felt pride. He was glad to have heard that I would definitely choose him if I had to
