The Love that Never Really Dies

A sharp pain tore through her heart, and it hurt so much that even breathing felt painful.

Having lost whatever feelings of excitement she had earlier, Sasha placed the items back on the shelf.

“Would you like to purchase this item, miss?” the salesgirl asked.

“No, thanks…” Sasha replied emotionlessly and dragged herself out of the mall.

She was so absent-minded that she didn’t even know how she got home. All she remembered doing was locking herself up in her bedroom straight till nightfall.

Lance soon returned home with Vivian and was surprised to see an empty living room.

“Where’s your mommy? Is she still out?” he asked as he had bought a lot of ingredients to make their favorite dishes.

Vivian climbed off him and went looking for Sasha in her bedroom.

“Mommy? Are you in there? It’s me, Vivi! Uncle Lance bought us a lot of ingredients today! Come on out, Mommy!” she shouted in her usual childish voice while knocking on the door, but there was no response.

Lance quickly came upstairs and carried Vivian in his arms as he said, “I think your mommy isn’t home yet. She’s probably busy running some errands outside. Come on, let’s wait for her downstairs. I’ll make you something delicious!”

“Okay…”

Vivian could only pout as she went downstairs with Lance.
