In the night when cars no longer clutter the roads, restaurants have close for the day, and people are resting home, only two people remain awake.
Not once moving from her position, Yue Ling ponder in thoughts of how to begin her story. She had told Lu Tian parts of her stories when they were in City Z, but now....
She looks down at the unlit lantern on the table and touch it.
"When we were in City Z, I told you about of my past."
She pause in her words and gently stroke the side of the lantern.
"What if I told you, that was only part of it?"
Finishing her question, she did not wait for Lu Tian's response. She looks away from the unlit lantern and back to Imperial in the distance.
"I...."
Just when she spoke her first word, instead of speaking normally, she choke out the word 'I'. The memories she had once closed away in her heart floods her mind one after another. It was as if she had gone back to the past to experience everything again.
