Wouldn't Be Unfair To Me

"It's okay Erica, some things are never in our control, we just need to accept fate. If it makes you feel any better, she once asked me, a few months before her death, about you and how you were doing" Steve honestly told her as his mom indeed mentioned her.

Erica, who was resting her head on his chest, lifted her face and looked at him in surprise, "Really? She remembers me?"

Steve wiped the tears from her eyes, "Of course she remembers you. Out of all my friends, you were her favorite."

He suddenly smiled recollecting something.

"What?" Erica asked him.

"During high school, when I introduced her to Lisa as my girlfriend, she asked me why am I not dating you instead" He again smiled recollecting how upset his mother was after meeting Lisa.

Erica's heart felt heavy when she got to know of this.

The first time when Erica met his mother, she asked Erica the same thing as to why she is not dating Steve.
