“My condolences.”
“What happens now?” Laura asked, raising her eyebrows in question.
“I don’t know.
I hoped to explain everything to you, and maybe we could start a friendship,” Nathan suggested.
“How did you find me all the way here?”
“I moved down here in my 30s.
I’ve been here since. I never had any family.
After losing you, I couldn’t fall for anyone else. Kiara’s death also haunted me.
It was tough.
But around 20 years ago, I saw your parents walking around. I found out where they lived and hoped to see you at some point. When they died, I noticed that you didn’t sell the apartment, so I continued waiting,” Nathan continued.
Laura couldn’t believe those words.
Nathan never got married or had children.
And he had been waiting for her to come here for more than 20 years. “Would you like a sandwich, Nathan?” she offered, changing the intense subject.
Soon enough, Nathan started coming over every day.
At first, they were only friends. They chatted about everything under the sun.
But at some point, they couldn’t deny their feelings any longer.
No matter how much time had passed, their love never ceased. It was like a candle that only needed to be relit to burn bright.
