🇦🇺 Luka's POV (The next day in Australia, Jasmine's parents' house)

Luka: Really? - I sipped my coffee with smile on my face all the time looking through the kitchen window.

Jacob: I'm dead serious! - He laughed - Yesterday he was in incredibly good mood, he was pretty cool and just like a few years ago, Luka. He came back to the DIC around 7 pm and he came to my apartment. He were watching a few comedy and crime movies and... Everything is perfectly fine, Luka. In the evening he was in even better mood than in the morning, I swear.

Luka: I... - I started nodding - I don't know what to say, really.

Jacob: What's the most important thing... I asked him about some women, but he told me that after this shitty situation with Elena at his house, he's not able to look at any other woman - He smirked - He says it's because of the fact that he's sick of women because of Elena, but I just think she just impressed him.

Luka: Well, it's hard to disagree with you - I slightly laughed and stated scratching my head - Like, come on! She was able to protect her little monster and Emery all by herself. Maybe he even has crush on her right now? - I smirked - I'm so happy to hear that, really. But... What the fuck was able to change him so fast? - I narrowed my eyes with my smile.

Jacob: Maybe this case? I think it's all thanks to you.

Luka: Honestly? I don't have a fucking idea what this case is about - I laughed and sipped my coffee - I mean, I flipped through a few cases and I saw some old case about missing woman and I gave him it - I shrugged - When I saw it, something inside of me immediately told me that it would be just a perfect case for him and... Maybe my intuition was right again? - I laughed again.

Jacob: You're such an intuitive spirit like Elena that I'm not even surprised why you two got along with each other so quickly without any problems! - He laughed too - Yes, I think your intuition was right. I don't know why, but... This case helps him find himself somehow. I know he still doesn't have his memories, but still... - He sighed - Better for him to act like that crazy and outgoing Jake from before creating the DIC than like he used to be a few days ago.

Luka: Yes, I think so too - I took a deep breath with my smile.

Jacob: There's still one last think I want to tell you - I saw his smirk - He asked about you, Luka.

Luka: W... - I swallowed - What?

Jacob: Yesterday's morning, when he was about to leave his office, he stopped and turned to me. Then, he asked me if you contacted me, Luka. I could see in his eyes he really wanted to know how are you. Of course I told him that you're fine, so on and then I told him that he should call you all by himself. For a moment he was thinking about it, but after a while he finally said "We will see", smiled and left.

When I heard these words... I immediately felt tears in my eyes. I... I don't even know what to say, really. After all these days, he's... I knew it! I knew he's still somewhere inside of this body.

Of course I'm incredibly happy. I'd be the happiest man on earth if he was there with me today, but... The fact that he asked about me is enough for me right now. I'm even more determined to fight for him and to be next to him no matter what. My brother is still in that body and he'll be back when he finally recovers. I can feel it. And when he'll be back... We'll celebrate my engagement, I'm sure about it.

Besides, fine, I'll propose to Jasmine, but we won't get married until everything is back to normal. Fine, maybe Jake is not here now, during my engagement, but I'll wait for him. Why? Because Jake Danford is the only person I find as my witness at my wedding. I'm sorry, but absolutely no one else can take that place. But... I'm not afraid of it anymore and I'm not scared of this waiting. I can feel it that Jake will be back soon, I know it.
