When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 1970

Silence fell between them.

Suddenly, Bella seemed to be listening to distant conversations in her mind.

She paused, waiting for the voices to diminish.

When the whispers subsided, she approached the photograph again and asked, “Do you have any other pictures?”

With a note of regret in her voice, Alissa replied, “She’s not fond of taking photos.

This one was taken at our graduation.

”

As Alissa spoke, fleeting memories began to stir in Bella’s mind, bringing on a headache that was more intense than before.

She attempted to hold onto those memories, but they evaded her, barely touching the surface of Alissa’s words.

Taking a deep breath, Bella excused herself.

“I’m sorry.

I’m feeling unwell.

I need to go back now.

Let’s schedule another time to meet.
