163 RECALLING THE ACHE

EIGHT YEARS AGO

LUKE’S POV

I took a deep breath as I held the door open for Harriet, my heart pounding with excitement. This was our first date since we both met, and I wanted it to be perfect. As we stepped into the elegant restaurant, Harriet’s eyes widened in awe.

“Wow, this place is amazing,” she said, looking around at the crystal chandeliers and the intricate

decorations.

“I’m glad you like it,” I replied with a smile, feeling relieved that she was impressed with my choice

of venue.

As we were led to our table, I couldn’t help but admire Harriet’s beauty. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back, and her emerald green eyes were sparkling with excitement. I felt lucky to have her by my side.

Settling into our seats, I ordered a bottle of her favorite wine, and we began to catch up on each other’s lives. We talked about our jobs, our families, and our dreams for the future. It felt like no time had passed since we last saw each other.

“I’ve missed you, Luke,” Harriet said, taking my hand in hers.

“I’ve missed you too, Harriet,” I replied, my heart fluttering at her touch.

The food arrived, and we savored each bite, lost in our own world of laughter and conversation. But as the night went on, I couldn’t shake off the nervousness that had been building up inside me. I knew I had to make this night memorable.

“Harriet, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you,” I said, taking a deep breath.

She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes. “What is it, Luke?”
