- Interesting day we had today, didn't we? - I said cheerfully as we were already in our favorite bar, where we usually go after a mission was done.

- You can say that - Selvaggia smiled as she took a sip from her drink.

- I wonder though...

- Hm?

- Why did he want to go back, if it wasn't revenge? Did he actually wanted to show off what he has created?

- I don't know, but if I need to guess I'd say...

She took a deep breath.

- I'd say... He did want to show off... But he also wanted to say one last goodbye to his parents...

- Do you really think so?

- I'm not sure... But remember what I told you before? That what happened to be when I was little?

- You were in an airplane disaster which killed most of the passagers on the plane - I replied - I remember...

At this moment she looked rather sad.

- I was on the plane with my parents too... But they died there right away... While I survived, but hardly and I never got the chance to say goodbye to them...

Now I sighed.

- I know... These two are completely different... But we both had parents and none of us had real chance to talk to them... One last time...

I took her hand at this moment to snap her out of her bad thoughts.

- S-Sorry... - she muttered - I guess I got way too much into it...

- It's okay - I smiled at her - It's okay to let the pain out sometimes... It can help...

She surprisingly squeezed my hand gently and smiled.

- I don't know how can you do this to me all the time - she smiled at me - How can you always make me smile? Make me feel better?

- This is just how I am - I smiled back - I can't handle to see you sad... - I added which I might shouldn't have done as she turned away.

She still didn't let go of my hand though.

- One thing I wanted to ask you for a while... - she then said - How could you leave your wife behind?

- I don't have a wife... And if you think about Angie by that then she's my sister-in-law... She's my dead wife's sister.

- Oh! I didn't know that...

- Of course you didn't... I never told you before...

- I'm sorry though.

- It's okay. I don't feel sad about it anymore. I've moved on.

- That's good. I wouldn't want you to become depressed...

Well, this is how our relationship was going so far.

We had ups and downs, but whenever we're in this place we're always like two close friends...

Or something more...
