Chapter 64
Enzo:
I watched as Alaria stood in front of the fountain, teaching Alonso what it was to throw a coin inside the fountain and make a wish.
“Now throw your coin and make a wish. Close your eyes, but tell anyone what that wish is.” Alaria said, smiling at Ashton. He did as she said before he turned to look at her with a a bright smile on my face.
“Did you make a wish?” I asked, watching the little boy’s bright smile.
“YES!” He said, making my heart swell with a feeling that I didn’t understand.
“Do not tell anyone your wish. It is breaking the rules.” Alaria whispered, shaking her head. Ashton pretended to seal his lips, and I chuckled, shaking my head at her.
“You still believe in that?” I asked, and she shrugged.
“Sometimes it is best to hold onto good memories and moment, right?” She asked, and I nodded. It was indeed the best thing that one could do for himself. Holding onto a past that brought peace.
“Do you want to take a seat? I believe that we might be late?” I asked, and she nodded.
The two of us sat at the table, and I couldn’t help, but find myself feeling at ease. It was one that I knew that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. The pain of it was one that clenched my chest, but I was thankful to be able to be feel it. To say the least, I was able to be peaceful for
now.
“When was the last time that you came here?” Alaria asked, and I shook. my head.
“I don’t remember.” I said, choosing to keep the fact to myself. The last time that I came here was with her. I never bothered coming here after the divorce. I didn’t want to be seen. in the place that I was seen happy with her. Not when I knew that I wasn’t happy with Katherine. Not when I was regretting her as my wife.

Chapter 64
“Did you come here?” I asked, and she shook her head.
“No, I didn’t. I come here after the divorce. I left the city and never bothered coming here. It was easier not to hold onto the memories.” She said, and I nodded in understanding. I understood what she wanted to say, and I understood that she didn’t want to hold onto pain. It was one that even I tried to forget. And I couldn’t imagine how she would have felt when she was alone away from her home and away from what she knew all her life.
“What is the plan that you have in mind?” She asked, raising an amused eyebrow. “I know that the two of us being seen together is going to hold gossip. But…”
“The two of us are going to deny all the rumors. Us being together is going to end things for him. But in a smarter way.” I said, and she raised an amused eyebrow, shaking her head in question. She crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for what I was going to say. I ran my finger over the table, pretending to draw, and I knew that things would be growing intense.
