As Ryan strolled through his familiar neighbourhood, his expression was deeply reminiscent. Although it hadn't even been a month since he had last been there, the place felt strangely different, like a memory resurfacing.
Stephanie couldn't help but tease him, her expressive eyebrows raised. "Do you have memory loss or something? Don't you live here?"
Ryan chuckled, a sheepish smile playing on his lips. "Haha, it's just been a while."
She couldn't stay irritated for long, considering his disarming smile. "Oh yeah, that's right. You said you were in Aria before..."
He nodded, an air of distance in his gaze. "Yeah..."
Stephanie's curiosity was piqued once again, and she leaned in a little. "How long were you there for?"
He paused for a moment, recalling his time in Aria. "Not too long. Nearly a month, I think."
"Really? What's it like?"
