The Love From Vengeance

257: THROWBACK: BROKEN

LUKE’S POV

FLASHBACK

It was a beautiful summer morning, and I eagerly awaited my grandfather’s arrival. He had promised to take me fishing today, something that we did a lot when I was very young. I was only nineteen currently, rich as hell, but we wanted to enjoy this moment differently. I was excited to spend the day with him and just be in his company.

As soon as I saw his car driving in my direction, I grabbed my fishing gear and ran outside. My grandfather, who had always been there for me, greeted me with a warm smile and a pat on the back.

“Ready to catch some fish, Luke?” he asked, his eyes twinkling with excitement.

“Definitely, Grandpa!” I replied, grinning from ear to ear.

We drove to our favorite fishing spot by the lake, just like we used to when I was a kid. I set up my fishing rod while Grandpa prepared the bait. We sat in silence for a while, enjoying the peacefulness of our surroundings.

After a few minutes, Grandpa broke the silence. “So, how’s school going, Luke?”

“It’s going okay, I guess,” I replied, not wanting to dwell on the subject. School has been tough ever since my parents passed away in a car accident a year ago.

“I miss them, Grandpa,” I blurted out, my voice cracking with emotion.

Grandpa put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me with a sad smile. “I know, Luke. I miss them,

too. But they will always be in our hearts and memories with us.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered the good times I had with my parents. Grandpa handed me a tissue and waited patiently for me to compose myself.
