Doris and Kyle locked eyes, both looking stunned. Neither of them had expected to run into each other again.

“You work here?” Kyle glanced around the café. It was stylish and well–decorated.

“Yeah.” Doris nodded while staying busy.

She turned to the glass display case, took out a tiramisu, and packed it for him.

While waiting for the coffee, Kyle couldn’t help but ask, “Last time… How’s Laura doing?

Doris thought back to that rainy night when Laura had been kicked out of the Webb family and was unexpectedly rescued and taken to the hospital by Kyle.

“She’s doing well.” Doris genuinely appreciated Kyle. “Thanks for asking

Back then, even though their breakup had been forced by Jimmy, it wasn’t entirely without reason.

Laura had always been too obedient, a little too timid.

Jimmy had even stormed into Kyle’s company and caused such a scene that Kyle ended up getting fired.

But Kyle never held it against Laura or suggested breaking up, proving he was a decent and principled guy.

Laura, not wanting Kyle to suffer any more trouble from Jimmy, had chosen to end things herself.

If they had just held on and fought for their love, he wondered if things would have turned out differently.

But love didn’t work that way–there were no “what ifs.” They just weren’t meant to be.

It was lucky that Laura had left right before Kyle walked in. If they’d been a few minutes apart, they would’ve run into each other.

She wondered what they would’ve said, how they would’ve reacted.

Doris figured it was probably for the best that they didn’t meet.

Kyle had even asked her not to tell Laura that he’d saved her, which meant he had no intention of seeing her again.
