Meanwhile, Loriel tried so hard to close his eyes. It was hard to sleep when the woman he loved, the one he had been waiting for his whole life, was only dozens of meters away from him.
He had never had another woman in his life after Elise left him. His heart was frozen and impossible to thaw.
Only her love, her melodious voice, and her sweet laughter could make his heart feel something again. That was what happened the moment he saw her under the cafe awning, reaching out her hand to touch the raindrops.
When she introduced herself as Elise, that was when all the walls in Loriel's heart crumbled. That was why he was so sure that this woman was Elise.
No one has this effect on him, but her.
Loriel only needed confirmation that it was her, which he would get tomorrow morning, as soon as Marc went to the hostel to get her identity.
The anticipation made Loriel giddy, he couldn't sleep even though he tried and took two sleeping pills - something he never did before.
