"Good morning, Lisa. How are you?" Sebastian greeted older good looking woman.
"Hello, Seb, I am fine. It is nice to see you," she smiled, "as usual?"
"Yes, please," he noded and sat down.
She took one piece of an blueberry cake and prepared coffee. "Here you go," she gave it to him and sat next to him. "How are you, Seb? How's your new work?"
"It's okay. I like it there. I met few nice people and... And everything comes back to normal, I guess," he sighed and took a piece of cake. "My God, this is so good, seriously, don't you wanna marry me?" "Maybe in the next life, okay?" she chuckled. "Listen, Seb," she said and he noticed a nervousness in her voice, "we would like to ask you something. Could you wait here, please?" "Sure," he looked at her, but she waked away quickly.
"Sebby," he heard young voice.
"Scarlet, hi!" he smiled.
"How are you? It's been a while," she hugged him and kissed him on his cheek.

"You look really good," he said.
"Thank you," she blushed a little and sat with Lisa next to him.
"Listen," Lisa said, but then she began to breath heavily, she was apparently very nervous.
"What's going on?" Sebastian asked.
"It's okay, mom. Do you want me to tell?" Scarlet grabbed her hand .
"No, it's okay, just..." she exhaled deeply and looked at Sebastian.
"We opened a box with... with his stuff. With things, that army sent us, after Chris died."
"Oh," Seb sighed.
"Yes... I know... It's been few months, but I simply couldn't do it earlier."
"I understand it," he said and stared at the box on the table in front of him.
"Thing is," Scarlet continued, "that we would like to ask you, if you know a girl name Hayley."
"Yes," he noded, "she was his girlfriend."
"Why did he never tell me about her?" Lisa asked him.
"He wanted to introduce you after he return from his tour. They met two weeks before he left, he was with her that week, when we were allowed to go home. And he thought it would be weird if he introduce you and then he'd leave again and ... you know," he explained them.
"He loved her very much, isn't it true?" Scarlet asked him, opened the box and pulled out Chris' diary. "I read it whole and he wrote her everyday... What he was doing, he described everyday from tho morning to the night. He wrote about people he met, things he saw, about his feelings and emotions. He wrote it for her, I guess, he wanted to gave this to her..."

"Yes, she was his everything. He kept talking about her , he was so exciting too see her, to introduce her to you..." he stopped and closed his eyes, "he wanted to propose her."
"What?" Lisa exhaled and began to cry.
"So, you know her.... Listen, Sebby... Do you think you can give this to her? Uhm..." Scarlet asked, "it belongs to her, he made this for her and I think she deserves to read it and have it."
"I haven't spoke to her since he died. I saw her once, twoo weeks after that... that day... But I know where she lives, so I can visit her," he too a diary, finished his cofee and walked away.
"Sebastian," Lisa came closeer to him, "I would like to meet her. PLease, if she'll agree, could you invite her here? For a coffee, cake, whatever she wants."
"I'll tell her. See you later," he smiled and left.
