"It would have been better if I'd not seen you that day," he said, his eyes dropping on her lips.
"Which day? Have we met before?"
"Yes," he reduced the distance, "You...were my last wish."

“Would you bring that plant to me, Abi?”
“Of course, granny!” I giggled, wiping my muddy hand on my shorts. Picking little flower plant off the table, I ran to granny who was digging a whole in her lovely garden for the little plant.
Running through tiny farm of tomatoes, I handled the plant to granny with utter care. Huge grin spread across Granny’s evermore happy face as she took plant from my hand and planted it in the new pot.
It had been one year since I had joined granny in her gardening business. To put hands in mud and to find out different plants and vegetables had like become my favourite hobby. Most important was the fact that I had left my past back.
When I left papa to never see him again, I had not thought where my life would go. His tearful eyes were pleading me to stay, but I was adamant to listen anything. I had already made my mind to walk away from the atmosphere which would disturb my life. It was hard, very hard for me though.
Papa did everything to stop me, but stopped when I directed my feet to Rick’s house to say final goodbye to Rick’s parents.
