Asher searched every corner of the hotel, but the person he longed for was nowhere to be found.

"Ash!" Bella sprinted after him with all her strength, grabbing his stiff arm. "Don't panic! I'll help you find Arnold!"

"He's nowhere to be found... Nowhere!" Asher's straight back gradually bent, and droplets fell onto the floor, uncertain whether it was sweat or tears.

"Bella... I have a bad feeling. If I fail to bring Arnold back this time... I might lose him forever. I will have forever lost my soul mate..."

"No! If Arnold had truly given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today! The fact that he did means you still have a place in his heart!" Bella held onto Asher, trying her best to comfort him.
