"Brother Sean, I probably shouldn't go...
"Tomorrow. I'll go tomorrow."
Caitlyn said and tried to close the car door.
"What are you saying?
"Get in the car. I'm taking you shopping for clothes.
"I've been busy lately. I don't have time to show you around."
Sean reached for Caitlyn's hand and pulled her into the car.
"Alright..."
Caitlyn hesitated slightly but did not decline again.
She did not have to treat Sean like a stranger.
...
The car probably drove on for less than two kilometers.
Sean made Zander pull over at the roadside.
Zander was confused. Was Sean not taking Caitlyn shopping for clothes?
However, he would not ask questions and only followed orders when Sean was involved.
There was a spacious road in front of him. The streetlights on both sides of the road were also lit up.
Visibility was not a problem.
Sean got out of the car with Caitlyn, while Zander wisely stayed in the car and waited.
"Brother Sean, this is..."
Caitlyn glanced around their surroundings and looked suspiciously at Sean.
A school was not far from them.
The school had existed for many years.
Sean and Caitlyn used to hang out here together when they were kids.
"I remember when we used to come here."
Sean smiled indifferently as he walked forward slowly.
"Yes, I remember."
Caitlyn followed Sean with a slight nod.
The memory of that time recurred to them at the same time.
When Sean and Caitlyn were young, they would come to this place every day like other children.
The difference was that those kids were here for school.
Sean and Caitlyn were here picking up empty water bottles discarded by the students around the school.
Sean vividly remembered the two of them leaning over the railing and looking inside the school.
It had a sports field with lush green grass and all sorts of sports facilities.
Sometimes, students in uniform could be seen raising the flag in the sports field.
However, the security guards at the school gate forcibly chased them away every time.
Everything in that school was new to them and was what they looked forward to.
May taught them how to read, but it was no match to school.
Therefore, the greatest desire during their childhood was to receive formal education like the students here.
Or perhaps they were more envious of the children picked up and dropped off by their parents everyday.
However, they often came here when they were little, no matter what.
"Brother Sean, why did you suddenly bring me here?"
Caitlyn asked quietly, looking at the school in front of her.
It was dark inside the school.
There were only a few dim lights on the sports field.
"Do you remember our childhood dreams?"
Sean asked, standing with his hands behind his back in front of the railing and looking ahead.
"Of course, I remember!"
Caitlyn froze before smiling and looking at the distant school building.
