Before regaining her memory, Mila had forgotten Nathan for ten years.
Yet, he had loved her selflessly for a decade and waited patiently for her. He was willing to keep waiting, even though there was no guarantee of success.
Mila’s appetite disappeared. She stood up with her phone in hand and said, “Grandpa, take your time. I have something to take care of.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Zach replied.
Mila went into her room, closed the door, and sat down on the edge of her bed. She stared at Nathan’s number on her phone. Her finger hesitated over the dial button.

“Wanda,” Nathan murmured.

“Can we meet?”
Mila tensed up. She was staring up at the ceiling, her heart was pounding.
“My friends are coming over to Sudvilla for dinner this evening. You’ve already seen them. Will you come?”

“5:00 pm. I’ll send Cole to pick you up.”
“Okay, I’ll be there. See you later, Nate,” Mila said with a smile.
“See you soon.” Nathan was reluctant to hang up the phone.
Mila was the first to end the call. She got up quickly from the bed, feeling like a bird about to take flight with joy. She rushed to her closet in search of snice clothes. Her heart had already gone with Nathan.
