Chapter 62: The House Up Hill

Rayan did not return to his office or went back to check on Jasmine. He wandered around over the hill, recalling the best moments he spent up here with Sue.

Sue used to spend mornings on Sundays on the top of the hill, painting. She liked the fresh breeze over there, which inspired her to draw.

“You know what, Rayan, my masterpieces,” Sue laughed at using this expression as if she were a famous artist and continued, “Were produced here.” Sue pointed up to the hill to show Rayan where she meant.

Sue told Rayan so while they were in the café right next to the small stream under the hill’s foot.

Rayan looked up and said, “So why did not we go there.”

“There is nothing to do. I sometimes sat on the grass to relax. I usually bring my chair, stand, and painting tools.” Sue answered.

Rayan smiled and called the waitress. “We will have our coffees to go, please.”

“Wait, what?” Sue asked.

“Sue, we will have our coffee up there. Just the way you like it, Sue.” Rayan said.
