"Either love or guilt, but one thing for sure, you are the first woman who made me want to marry you. That wish, I had long before the incident happened."
Brian's answer surprised Elise. The first woman Brian wanted to marry her. Elise smiled, although Brian couldn't say whether it was love or guilt, but Elise at least knew that she was a very special woman in Brian's life. And that label stuck with Elise long before she experienced that terrible incident.
"Thank you." A single tear fell down Elise's smooth cheek.
"Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for all the love, attention and affection you have given me so far. And Thank you for being the oxygen in my life." Elise's tears were getting heavier as she spoke.
Seeing how Elise was crying and the woman's words, made Brian sad and reached out his hand to wipe Elise's tears. But that didn't stop Elise's tears from continuing to flow.
