Liam stood there, trembling.
He was scared.
Brittany and my silence revealed something.
He was afraid of the truth.
If I didn’t love him, I’d go to Ace.
“Willow, let’s go.”
Ace tried to take me away.
I looked at Liam and didn’t let Ace take me.
“I never lost my memory.” I said.

Liam looked at me.
Ace looked down.
Brittany laughed and cried.
I looked at Liam.
“If you had waited a second, I would have told
you I was joking.”
“But you didn’t wait. You denied me and
pushed Ace to me.”
Liam shook his head.
“Willow…”
“I gave you chances. Just admit that you were
く
“But you let another man be my boyfriend.
You let another man take care of me.”
“You hugged Brittany in front of me, you
kissed her.”
“You lit fireworks for her, like you used to do
for me.”
“So, I gave up.” I said.
Liam said, “I’m sorry…”
He said, “I was just confused…”
Ace glared at him, protecting me.
“I’m sorry! I’ve always loved you! I wanted to
marry you!”

He cried, taking out a ring.
“I was gonna propose. I was waiting for you
to remember, then I’d ask you to forgive me.
I’d take care of you forever…”
He took out the ring.
“Willow, I love you! Forgive me! You loved
me!”
“Willow, give me a chance…”
“Liam!”
Ace threw the ring away.
“You don’t get it! You lost her when you
cheated on her!”
He lost me.

Ace took me home.
He checked me for injuries.
He hugged me and kissed me.
“Willow, I love you. All of you.”
“I don’t want all of your love.”
“Just love me like you loved Liam.”
“I’ll be loyal.”
He gave me a ring, holding my hand tightly.

I stared at him.
“You heard me and Brittany at the vineyard?”
He nodded.
I smiled.
I let him put the ring on me.
“Draw me one day.” I said.
He hugged me.
“Okay.”
When Ace took me home, he showed that he
didn’t hate me.
He liked me.
He was jealous.
How much did he like me?
I didn’t know.
I saw my sketches in his office.
He drew them.
He put so much love into them.
He loved me.
He had the chance to have me.
He was clean.
He’d only been with me.
I’d love him.
He said, “I love you, Willow, since you hugged
me and said ‘Good morning‘…”
