"So, if he tells you not to come back, you're just gonna listen to him? He might've said it casually, but he probably misses you like hell." Erica, who had always marched to the beat of her own drum, had no constraints now. "Once things here are sorted, I'll take you back!"
Larkin was a bit taken aback.
"If he wants to punish you, I can take the punishment with you, we'll face it together!" Erica's words struck a chord with Larkin.
The gloom on Larkin's face disappeared in an instant.
He nodded, "Alright!"
"Are you not worried anymore?"
Larkin shook his head. It occurred to him that Jacob really didn't know what he had.
How could he have taken Erica for granted?
But then again, Larkin thought, it was a good thing Jacob didn't appreciate what he had. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood a chance.

H City.
Jacob returned to the last home he shared with Erica.
Her presence still lingered in the house.
He used Erica's favorite body wash and then he crawled into her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
This was the longest he'd slept since he found out Erica was getting married. So long, in fact, that Mike started to worry something had happened to him.
Jacob had a long dream.
In the dream, he went back to the past, to the day Erica was bullied, and he didn't go skiing.
He picked up her call immediately, rushed to her side, and stopped the bullies right away.
They never broke up.
After Erica finished her studies, they got married right away.
