Within a crowd of dark shapes, I spotted Draco immediately.
Three years without meeting him, he had become slimmer and talked less.
And his movements had grown even calmer and more controlled.
While he carefully guided his team to head into the hills to search, he pulled out his phone and called my number.
All this time, his lips kept muttering complaints.
“Savannah, that’s enough. You should understand when to stop acting stubborn.”
“Just to meet me once, you really caused such a big mess.”
“Do you realize how many people cannot rest tonight because of you?!”
“So many years have gone by, but your attitude is still the same, you are still this stubborn and careless!”
Inside Draco’s mind, I always stayed that spoiled and headstrong young woman.
The one who could turn everything upside down over the smallest thing.
The one who leaned on his care to behave however she wanted.
He would never learn that I was already dead.
Even more, he would never learn that I died to keep him safe.
He only believed that I was still upset about what happened long ago.
The moonlight spread wide and light, falling across the ground.
All at once, I felt a little curious.
