My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I thought that people would let go of things, leaving the past in the past, but people differ from each other, and some just never learned to move on.

Once I came down from the initial surprise, I nodded and made my way downstairs.

It had been more than half a month since we last met. She was dressed formally. At the age of 40, her wrinkled face was already showing signs of aging.

Whatever it is, you and Hendrix were once married, but the divorce was considered amicable. You didn't take anything with you when you left, so whatever you want now, just say the word and we, the Roberts family, will do our best to meet your requests."
