    Hearing Charlie’s name, Emily’s face changed slightly.


    Estelle put the card in her pocket, “Don’t push this away Y


    ou will need a lot of money when you get there, Jonathan and I have talked and we’ll help take care of


    the baby once he’s born. We owe you that ” Emily wrapped her arms around Estelle, choking on her


    words, “Estelle, I wish you and Jonathan all the happiness in the world I be back for your wedding.


    We’ll stay in touch.”


    Estelle patted her on the shoulder, “Take care, we will visit you when we have time.”


    “Alright, I’ll take care of myself. And so will you!” Emily took a deep breath, not wanting to cry at their


    farewell. She stepped back, gave Estelle ast look and a small smile, “Take care.”


    Estelle nodded, “Safe travels,”


    Emily, choking on her tears, waved goodbye to Estelle, then took a final look at the city she’d lived in


    for twenty years, bidding farewell to her best friend and the man she secretly loved


    Once Emily passed through security and disappeared into the crowd, Estelle finally turned to leave.


    Jonathan took her hand, “Let’s go.”


    “Okay” Estelle nodded, taking onest look before leaving with Jonathan.


    Charlie was three minuteste. By the time he arrived, all he could see through the terminal window


    was the ne taking off


    He stood there, watching the ne until it was out of sight, feeling empty


    He sat in the waiting area, lost in memories of his first meeting with Emily and every moment spent


    together. He realized his feelings for her were more than just a little crush.


    He loved herughter, her voice.


    He loved her innocence and passion. He felt unworthy of her, fearful that his interest was merely


    fleeting and that he would end up hurting her So, he hid his feelings, convincing himself he only saw


    her as a sister


    He’d been through many rtionships, had plenty of experience, yet he still failed to understand his


    own heart.


    And now, it was toote.


    He’d hoped it would y out like a movie: Emily wouldn’t board the flight, she would suddenly appear


    before him, looking flustered and confused. But as time went by, passengers around him came and


    went, and Emily never showed


    Stubbornly, he stayed, hoping for a miracle.


    He sat, still as a statue.


    Night fell, and after a whole day of waiting, his hope turned to disappointment.


    He remembered the day at the Midnight Bar, when she waited for him in the hallway, looking like she


    wanted to say something. How he wished he knew what she wanted to say


    Why didn’t he stop?


    Even if only for a second, maybe she would have spoken.


    But he was so angry, so resentful towards her, he deliberately treated her with contempt, not even


    giving her a chance to speak.


    Charlie left without looking back. He once had a chance to look back at her, but he missed it. Perhaps


    he was doomed to be a man incapable ofmitment and deep affection.


    He didn’t deserve a girl as exceptional as Emily, so letting her go was the best choice. She would find


    someone better than him, someone without a messy past, someone who would love her


    wholeheartedly and consistently!


    She deserved to be with such a man, to have a better life!
