q“How is that possible?” Anthony exclaimed, quickly dispelling her thoughts. “We've always been together, and we talk about everything under the sun. How could I possibly not know if you've got a lover?”

“Uh...” Francesca nodded in agreement and said, “Well, maybe I knew him before I knew you?”

“You were only sixteen when I became friends with you. Back then, you were constantly working on the mountain, while he's been working in Erihal. So, how did you guys get to know each other and even fall in love?” stated Anthony, analyzing the situation rationally. “Besides, even if you knew Danrique, you can't possibly be his first love. Both of you are of different worlds, to begin with.”

“That's right.” After giving it some thought, Francesca, too, found it quite impossible. She and Danrique were indeed two different people. Be it their identity, social status, family background, or even their character, there was a major contrast between them.

“Okay.” Francesca nodded. “Don't let him know about our relationship. Just try it out using only your name. It'll make things easier for me if you can get it back.”

“All right.”
