"Amanda?" Arielle's gorgeous face peeked outside the door, completely surprised.

"Arielle!" Amanda, who had been hesitant, quickly grew happy on seeing her and threw her arms around her former classmate and roommate's shoulders.

She hugged her happily and squeezed her. Arielle, on the contrary, stood there stunned. She had not expected anyone to come and see her. Not someone from her past life that she missed and craved for.

"Hey!" She hesitantly hugged her back.

When they parted away, "You have grown even more beautiful, El. Much more gorgeous and mature."

A raw and primitive grief overwhelmed Arielle.

She forced a smile and stepped aside, "Co-come inside."

Amanda knew it would be awkward for her. What happened six years ago at the age of eighteen, left Arielle alone.

Everyone left her and their mutual friends had split too, forcing her to isolate herself from the outer world. But now, all these years later someone from her old life was standing at her door uninvited.

It was damn awkward but Amanda maintained her smiles and cheerfulness.

"Your apartment is really nice. Ah! You're still fond of the purple and white combination." Amanda chimed as she strode through the hallway and stopped in the kitchen behind Arielle.

The apartment was not very big but vibrant and comfortable. A spacious drawing room before a corridor that led to two doors of different rooms opposite to each other. The right side of the spacious foyer was a huge ceiling to floor window linked to a big balcony outside. Then there was the kitchen on the right side with a small round table and two chairs set across the kitchen counter that was laden with a wine bottle and a quarter filled glass.

"Hmmm, some habits are too rough to let go." Despair poured from Arielle's mouth as she answered the compliment. It was her favorite combination back in college.

Amanda noticed it and without a reply smiled while taking in the beautiful interior of the apartment.

"Would you like anything to eat or drink?" Arielle asked as soon as Amanda sat down in one of the chairs while observing the wine glass and the plate of croissant.

Arielle noticed it and in a soft tone, said, "Uh, I've become a fashion photographer and yesterday I signed an amazing contract. Soo... I was celebrating."

Amanda grinned, her eyes going wide in appreciation and looked around the place. "I know about photography. The contract and celebration makes me happier now. Congratulations." She said as she urged her beautiful friend to pour herself a glass of wine.

"How did you find me?" Arielle asked, sitting down on the couch beside Amanda.

"Long story Arielle." Amanda told her, sounding exhausted at the prospect of telling her.
