It had been two years. She had already let it go, more or less. But his reappearance still took and overwhelmed her just like that.

She was not even sure if he had recognized her at the first sight, just like she had as he walked past with a quick brush.

At the thought of that, Betty suddenly mocked herself with a faint smile.

Recognized her or not, what was the difference anyway?
