CYCLE OF LOVE AND PAIN

"Here," Eli handed Belle the envelope that Charles gave earlier in the hospital. 

"What is this?" 

"Movie tickets. Dr. Larry gave that to me earlier, which was supposedly yours, but you completely ignored him." 

"He wanted us to go on a date?" 

"That might be the case. After all, we're in a relationship in front of other people." 

[Go for it! You probably won't have another chance to date him in the future.] 

(I also want to, but -) 

[Stop with the buts! Just grab this chance. I want to know more about the general in this life. You can ask questions later about him.] 

(Fine. I'll do this for you.) 

"Then, shall we go out this Sunday?" Belle asked him hesitantly because she thought that he would refuse. 

Contrary to her expectation, Eli agreed with an 'okay' and a huge smile appeared on his face. For a moment there, she thought she saw the man that she liked so much in the past.
