"No one should live in the past forever. I just hope you can think clearly of what you're going to do from now on."
Ella didn't want to be immersed in her past anymore because the relationship between them was so clear. They would never be able to go back to what they used to be, never would there be another chance for a relationship like they had in the past.
She wanted Liam to stop approaching her because it was all for the man's own good.
"I don't live in the past, Ella. I've always followed in your footsteps," Liam said frantically.
He was worried that if he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't have the chance to get in touch with Ella again.
Ella was right in front of him, but somehow she felt far away. They were so far apart, it was as if ten years had truly cut all the threads that connected them.
"We're not that close." Ella shook her head. Her hand gripped the rose in her hand tightly.
