Preslie disagreed with Yesseca.
She said, "Yesseca, we're still young. It hasn't been that long since then. We're not in our 70's or 80's yet."
Yesseca laughed bitterly.
Truth was it really wasn't that long ago.
But for some reason, it felt like forever ago to her.
Back in those days where she and Preslie worked as store assistants felt like half a lifetime ago to her.
It felt like from the moment she was born till now, her life had been split into two halves.
One part was before she had broken up with Tremaine and the other half was after they had broken up.
That's why when she recalled the past, it felt like half of her life had already passed her by.
"You're right, we're still young." Yesseca whispered, "That wasn't right of me to say."
Preslie held Yesseca's hand and said, "That's right we've still got many more years to live. We're still young and have all kinds of opportunities to take and learn from mistakes! If we fail at something,
we can always get up and try again!"
Preslie had purposefully said that to her.
She was referring to the whole situation with Tremaine.
Yesseca had understood.
Her eyes looked downcast as her eyebrows casted a dark shadow over her eyes.
Preslie added, "By the way Yesseca, you still haven't told me what you say to me while you were standing by my bedside earlier."
Yesseca's eyes looked back up at Preslie as she said, "Oh I had just thought of why Tremaine had brought his wife to the lantern festival earlier."
Preslie was surprised.
But she had sort of expected this, she knew the only reason she would be up so late was because she had been thinking about Tremaine.
