The Love that Never Really Dies

Sasha was speechless.

She dried the tears on her cheeks and turned to look at the person who had sat down next to her. She was surprised to find that he was just a young boy.

His clothes were shabby and well-worn, and a guitar was strapped across his back.

“What’s with that look? Is a wandering singer like me unworthy of sitting next to you?

“Huh?” Sasha immediately shook her head. “No, no! You just reminded me of my younger brother, that’s all.”

Her “brother”; the one who had impersonated as Lance on Wall Street.

Sasha felt like crying again at that thought.

The boy saw her expression change and quickly started strumming on his guitar. “Shall I play you a song? Maybe you’ll feel better after some tunes…”

“Will I really?”

“Of course! Just listen and see!”

Then, the boy, who Sasha noticed was rather handsome, began to play a melody.
