I never heard from Mr. Owen after he dropped me off at my former house ever again. I also never heard of what happened to Charlie and the rest of the people. It has been almost a year since the incident and I have since moved on.
I no longer wore my engagement ring which Charlie got for me back when he proposed to me. I sold the house we bought together since I knew he was no longer coming back. To the extent, I also deleted Charlie and the others off my contacts and the conversations we have. It was painful at first, but I knew someday I had to move on.
I quit my job at the bookstore with my boss, Jennifer kept missing me when I left. Now, I am happily working as an author for children books.

Here, I was, sitting at the park bench as I admired the lake turning into ice. It was the Winter season and Christmas was coming near. I saw families happily jogging in the cold season with their children smiling as the snowflakes kissed their cheek.
What I loved about Winter was the snow reminded me of happiness similar to movies like Love Actually. Everyone going for Christmas stockings' shopping and choirs singing songs at the top of their voices which irritates me sometimes. However, snow also reminded me of losing someone.
I would never know who killed my family. I would never forgive myself for making my best friend, Sheena's father placed in jail, rotting away his life till he passed away many years ago. She may have been bad, but still I could forgive her. In the end, we were the same. Our families were ruined by such miseries.
I walked back on foot as I stepped on the ground with more snow, to my house (pictured) I bought months ago. I chose the house because the rooms' size were just what I wanted. I needed a house which was near my budget. One of the rooms was completely furnished with books I received from Jennifer where I was dived in every weekend for a getaway.
Just as I picked up the local newspaper on my doorstep and unlocked the front door, a voice shivered and brought me back some memories. "Am I late?", the voice sounded. I turned around and saw the light of my life.
Charlie. Charles Holden was just standing right in front of me, giving me the genuine smile like a friend I haven't seen for a long time. He looked clean with his jacket and scarf on point. I was expecting him to looked terrible which most movies always show. Charlie was different.
"No, you aren't.", I replied, standing in the saddest winter.

I thought it was nice to tell a story chapter related to the winter. I remembered Love Actually and I sure felt emotional at times. Imagine thinking your loved one won't returned and one day, boom, he is just right outside your door. I am sure you would understand how it feels.
I also added a song, 12:30 by Korean boy band, Beast since it helps convey the sadness of the winter. :')
