“Savannah, that’s enough. You should understand when to stop acting stubborn.”
“Just to meet me once, you really caused such a big mess.”
“Do you realize how many people cannot rest tonight because of you?!”
“So many years have gone by, but your attitude is still the same, you are still this stubborn and careless!”
Inside Draco’s mind, I always stayed that spoiled and headstrong young woman.
The one who could turn everything upside down over the smallest thing.
The one who leaned on his care to behave however she wanted.
He would never learn that I was already dead.
Even more, he would never learn that I died to keep him safe.
He only believed that I was still upset about what happened long ago.
The moonlight spread wide and light, falling across the ground.
All at once, I felt a little curious.
Curious about what kind of response Draco would show when he saw my remains.
Would he be shocked that the fragile little girl from before had grown older?
Or would he feel angry that I had once again caused him so much trouble?
I couldn’t think of any reply.
I could only float across the sky over the city, quietly watching the man I once loved.
The call failed to connect, and Draco sent four or five voice messages one after another.
Sadly, none of them got any reply.
After being ignored again and again, Draco became a little mad.
Just as he was ready to tell the group to pull back and leave, a phone rang, suddenly breaking the silence of the late night.
I leaned closer to look.
The caller's name showed, “Dear Wife Ravena.”
Right after that, Ravena’s soft voice came from the phone.
“Draco, it is already so late. Why are you still not home?”
“The baby and I both miss you a lot.”
That gentle and warm voice quickly softened Draco’s face.
His voice showed a bit of affection, but it was hard to notice.
“I miss you too. After I finish dealing with this case here, I’ll come home and stay with you.”
There was a short stop on the other side of the call.
Ravena let out a soft breath.
“I saw that post. You also think it was posted by Sister Savannah, right?”
“Sigh, Sister Savannah has always been this way. Don’t be upset with her.”
“After all… about what happened back then, we were also at fault.”
Those two words, back then, hit Draco’s unspoken worries.
He paused for a second, deleted the blaming words he had typed, and then sent me a different message.
“Savannah, if you truly cannot release what happened back then, I can say sorry to you.”
“After all, you will always be my…”
My what?
Draco did not keep typing.
He went quiet.
And I also slipped into the past.
Truthfully, Draco and I should never have reached this ending.
Following the life road that was first planned, we, childhood sweethearts, should have married at twenty, had children, and made a warm home.
My mother and Aunt Anika were very close friends.
After my parents passed away in an accident back then, I was brought into Aunt Anika’s house.
Aunt Anika treated me like her own kid.
Draco spoiled me even more than anyone else.
When I turned eighteen, just because I casually said one line, “Men wearing police uniforms look more handsome.”
Draco firmly applied to a police academy and became a criminal officer.
At that time, holding his admission letter, he proudly said to me, “Savannah, I love you.”
“I will spend my whole life loving you and keeping you safe.”
“To give you everything you want.”
Draco didn’t go back on his word.
During the years we were together, he did everything he could to live up to that promise.
