Begging For A Reconciliation

Leah began to operate the phone with a heavy heart and a strong sense of familiarity. She recalled that the phone password was a series of numbers. She quickly entered Han’s birthday, and the phone unlocked.

Leah thought to herself, there are things that I want to forget so badly but there will always be something that reminds me of it once again. Some things are forever etched in memory and will follow us till death.

was when Han saved her from an embarrassing situation. As her dress was stained with blood, he tied his jacket around her waist. Leah remembered him remarking on her thin waist when he bent down and tied the jacket in annoyance. The comment left her face reddened in embarrassment. She had vivid memories of his appearance in high school. His features were clearly defined, and he always wore a frown on his
