The crisp air of Sangua City hit her with a wave of nostalgia. It had been such a long time since she returned to the city.
After five long years, she was back here.
The girl who left the place with the promise to never return, at last, was here. She had never imagined that she would be coming back here due to her parents.
That too in such critical condition.
Sitting in the car, she looked outside the window seeing everything passing into a blur. She had decided to go to the hospital straight from the airport.
"You really didn't have to come with me," she said softly, though she was grateful that he accompanied her.
"Now don't be a fool," Dean shook his head, "Why would I let you go alone?"
Marissa glanced at him, her lips pressing into a thin line, "I'm a big girl, Dean. Or are you planning to be my twenty-four-seven chaperon?"
Dean was aware, she was trying to crack the joke but internally she was too upset to even smile.
