"Move Anh. Let 's go." she was pulling him by the arm as they were getting down the stairs, but he tried to stand, not moving.

“Where are we going?" he asked to get an answer. She turned around and approached him, frowning. "I want to buy pizza." Surprised, he lowered his head to one side. "You just gained memories and the first thing you will do is eat pizza? Let 's go back to bed. I missed you!" He grabbed her by the waist and brought her close to him, pulling her up stairs.

“No!” She protested. “We are going to eat pizza and that's final.” Then he stopped. “If you want so much to eat, then eat me.” The mischievous smile played on his lips as he approached her closer and kissed her lightly on the neck.

“You are a pervert.” She acted historically and got a few steps back by placing her hand on her heart, causing him to smile. “I promised Jay a day before I supposedly died that i would bring him pizza. That’s why we are going. I want to tell him that his mother is back this way.” She spoke with sadness filling her voice. He looked his wife straight in the eye and then decided to talk.

“Then let’s go.” He took her and threw her on his shoulders and headed towards the door while she started to protest. “Hey! Get me down.”  But her smile betrayed her

After 30 minutes Anhriel and Hazel had finally come home and as soon as they opened the door they heard voices coming from the living room. Their hearts melted as the son and daughter stood in front of them playing together. The two children turned their heads as a pleasant aroma described their noses, but the expression on Jay's face as he saw in his father's hand two boxes of pizza was no longer a happy one.

“Look what we are going to eat.” Hazel said as she took one of the boxes and placed it on the table. Anhriel was worried about his son's reaction because he knew from the day of the accident he had never eaten pizza.

“I don’t want to eat pizza.” Jay said as he got up and was about to leave.  Hazel was surprised by her son's behaviour and immediately went after him and touched him to the shoulder. "Your mom brought you pizza after 5 years and you won't eat it?"

Jay glanced at his father and noticed a smile on his face. He was confused. “You died because I asked you to go buy pizza. So I will not eat.” Pain took over Hazel heart and her eyes arched in sadness.

“It was not your fault, my heart.” She said as she got closer, hugging him. “Now I’m here and that’s what matters. I love you an ocean!” She kept going and the eyes of that younger boy started getting red, ready to shed a few drops of tears. “Did you gain your memory?” he asked as  she nodded and he felt her moving. His head leaning on her shoulder.

Bella ran towards them and joined the hug, but got a little upset after realized she could only reach up to their waist. “Daddy, come join us too, take me in your arms to become tall like you.” She extended her hands as he came and took her in his arms. Jay and Hazel smiled as now the family was all in the hug.

Morning had come to Aiden apartment as well, and as the sun shone through the windows, his eyes began to open the curtains slowly. Finding himself in another room, almost unfamiliar and on a cold floor, he began to doubt whether what had happened the day before was a dream. Now fully awake, a sense of panic describes him as he immediately tossed the blanket on which he was covered to one side and hurriedly checked his pockets. It was there. It wasn’t a dream, the letter really existed.

After all this waiting, he was finally ready to face the truth. But the fear did not leave his chest when he thought that once he had lost the one he loved. What if it happened to him again?
