The Reunion After Seven Years

His instinct told him that what was weighing on Nicole's mind had something to do with him.

When Nicole heard him ask her, she merely shook her head and answered vaguely, "You will know when we arrive there." Still looking at him, her mind kept telling her that since they had decided to be together, it would be a lot easier for them to face the fact sooner rather than later.

In no time, the car stopped at the gate of the cemetery. Kerr immediately knew what was happening as he busied himself observing the surroundings in front of him. But instead of rejecting her, he quickly opened the door of the car for her and gently held her hand.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Nicole blurted out. She knew how awkward it sounded since it was not what she meant to ask him. What she genuinely wanted to know was whether he would mind coming in with her. Since they were at the cemetery, the place was very solemn.

"That's what I want to ask you exactly. Do you think I will be afraid?"

Kerr gently replied. He yearned to make her feel his sincerity. That no matter how dangerous or distant the place was, as long as her heart desired to be there, he would never hesitate to hold her hand and be with her.

And now, he could only feel that it was such a good start that Nicole brought him here. To him, it was a positive affirmation of what they had at the moment.

Slowly, the smile on Nicole's face faded, but her heart became extremely calm because of Kerr's words. She silently headed to her parents' tombstones and stared at the photos on them. And after a moment of silence, she opened her mouth.

"Someone gave me a present today, but I don't like it." She deliberately turned to face Kerr, who was standing beside her. Her eyes showed an inquiring expression, but there was not the slightest sign of doubt in it, not even a tiny dot.

Staring intently at her eyes, Kerr instantly knew that this was what she was hiding from him. But then, joy and delight swept over him that she was finally sharing everything with him.

"If you don't like it, just ignore it,"

Kerr suggested kindly. He vowed to himself that provided it was something that Nicole liked in this world, he would willingly give it to her at any price. But if it was something that she hated, then he would make it disappear in front of her outright.
