Our conversation kept ringing in my head, and only when he asked something striking did my consciousness return to the world.
"I learned that he was your childhood sweetheart? So when you both showed up, I was astonished. I thought such a thing would be impossible."
He's definitely not that sweet anymore, but he's surely tightening his grip on my heart.
But instead of saying that, I just gawked at him before coming up with something.
"The thought also didn't cross my mind. And I'm sorry too, Grandpa, because I knew what kind of relationship you hoped Lucian would get but still pushed through with this."
There's suddenly guilt as I feel like I've taken his chance at recovery. Maybe he needed someone that could jumpstart his heart.
Grandpa just laughed at my apology, which made me look at him.
