"No matter how I think about it," started Dylan as he watched Xiu leaving. "I believe our stars just don't align together."

Darren bumped his shoulder with Dylan, "Your star doesn't have to align with hers, it's enough that mine fits perfectly well with her."

"Yuck!" was Dylan's response. "How long have you been even married for? Is it okay to sound so corny even now?"

"You're that one person who should never point out what kind of love is between Sweets and me," said Darren quite seriously. "I don't think I have to remind you how long or what it took for us to be where we are today."

Dylan became quiet instantly when he heard that. What was left there to say now? Of course, he knew everything about the love that actually managed to come back from death. How could he forget that? He usually did try to ignore this fact but for how long could he ignore it? Deep down in his heart, he knew all of it.

"Don't say anymore," said Dylan. "I can't take it."
