A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Do you like it?" Jacob asked. He turned to look at Emily. Emily opened her mouth to say something, but felt as though she had a fish bone stuck in her throat.

She remembered how one night, she and Jacob had watched a TV show together with a scene where the hero and the heroine watched the sunset together. At that time, she had told Jacob that he should take her to watch the sunset again.

She had not expected it to happen today. Emily felt her eyes start to burn. She forced her tears back.

The sun was almost all the way down now, leaving only a partially red sky and scattered clouds. The sea breeze continued blowing, setting the crimson ocean waves in a glittering, calm dance.

After a while, Emily finally spoke in a hoarse voice. "It is so beautiful, Jacob. I like it very much. Thank you."

Jacob looked at her with tender eyes and said, "You know I'll do anything to make you happy. I promise to fulfill your wishes one by one. And when you get better, we'll go see the kids together."

Emily bit her lip, willing her tears to stay where they were. She looked at the sky once again and felt the sadness in her heart slowly dissipating. She grinned at Jacob brightly, her face full of hope. "I can't wait."

Jacob grinned at Emily as well and said, "In the meantime, focus on getting better, okay?" Before Emily could answer, Jacob started messing up her hair. They started laughing as if they had no care in the world.

Emily playfully pushed Jacob away, and Jacob chuckled. Jacob murmured, "When you're all better, we'll bring the kids here and watch the sunset together." Emily simply smiled and wrapped her arms around Jacob's neck. . . . . . .
