"Take me there." Wayne's grip on Rosalynn's hand tightened, his eyes red-rimmed.
Rosalynn didn't refuse, but simply said, "If it gets too much when we get there, I'll take you out right away."
"Alright." Wayne nodded.
His gaze swept over Fuller Manor outside the window, and the image of the woman, her face unclear, wearing a bright dress and teasing him, reappeared in his mind.
Rosalynn led Wayne back into the small apartment.
To Wayne's surprise, he didn't feel as uncomfortable as he did the day before.
He let go of Rosalynn's hand, walked into the bedroom, took a look around, and then came out, his eyes falling on the door of the study.
The pain in his heart was intensifying.
Seeing this, Rosalynn took his hand and sat him back down on the sofa. "I never intended to hide anything from you, but since you lost your memory, talking about what happened between us can be a bit..."
Rosalynn struggled to find the right words.
"Brutally hurtful, right?" Wayne asked.
Rosalynn sighed and nodded. "But after ten years of tug and war, we both understood each other's feelings and made peace. We were living a good life as a family before your accident."
"Did we really make peace?" Wayne looked at Rosalynn, the pain in his eyes like a roaring sea. "Then why do I wake up feeling like you hate me, like you'd abandon me?"
His voice was choked with emotion.
Rosalynn felt a sharp pain in her chest.
So, he had never let go of his initial fear after coming back.
