“I suppose.” Michael nodded before asking, “What about me then? I’m also someone from your past. Do you intend to cut me off as well?”

“You’re different,” Charlotte replied, gazing at him gently. “No matter what happens, we’ll always be friends!”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Feeling guilty, he said, “I used to be really willful and had caused you a lot of trouble. I’ve grown a lot after everything that has happened in the past two years. I know you don’t have any romantic feelings for me, and I also know love can’t be forced. From now onward, I’ll be by your side as your good friend and put my feelings for you behind me. I promise to be there whenever you need me!”

“I will.” He nodded. “It’s a beautiful night. Shall we head to the beach for a stroll?”
