Ariana paused and turned to look at the man behind her; she blinked her eyes and waited for him to say what he wanted.
On the other hand, Noah looked at the woman standing in front of him with a feeling of helplessness surging in his heart. There were so many things that he wanted to say to her. But the second he parted his lips, he couldn't bring himself to say anything. What was he supposed to say to her?
It was too late for him to say that, and Noah knew that even if he was to apologize to Ari now, there was no point in doing so—the two of them could never return to where they once stood.
"Are we okay?" In the end, Noah asked the one question that he always wanted to ask. After all, he didn't want a future where Ari was not with him. Even if he was only watching her from afar, Noah wanted a future where Ari was with him.
