Love Confession

Eve was silent after hearing the story of Alaric's amulet. For ten years, he cherished the things she gave him.

She wondered why there was a fragment in her childhood memories she couldn't remember. What was she doing in that forest?

'Why do I feel like this event is connected to my mother's death? What should I do to remember the whole thing that happened in that forest?'

Eve was lost in her thoughts when suddenly, she felt Alaric's strong arms wrapping her. He lifted her and made her sit on his lap while hugging her from behind.

"What are you thinking right now?" He softly asked her, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Eve smiled faintly, concealing her worries. She had her suspicion that there was a deeper story behind her mother's death. However, she didn't want Alaric to be troubled by this as long as she didn't have enough proof.
