Although Arwen didn’t remember anything from the past, when she said those words, Aiden’s heart got still. His brows furrowed and he stared at her as if trying to find the answer to something he already knew.
"What’s happened?" Arwen asked when she saw wrinkles appearing on his forehead.
"Why did you say that?" Aiden asked, and feeling puzzled at his question, she asked back.
"What did I say?"
Frowning, he spoke with a sense of urgency. "Your confidence just now. You said that I will come back and you know it."
Arwen smiled and then reached up to cup one side of his face. "Because I know you will. I don’t know why but I am simply confident that no matter where you go, you will always come back to me."
She didn’t know the reason behind her confidence, but it seemed like she was confident about it. Her consciousness was confident of him.
Aiden smiled. Those words came so exact that it almost make him believe that she remembered it all. But even if she didn’t, he wasn’t disheartened, because he was happy to know that that somewhere in the back of her mind, she still remembered the promises he made to her and the confidence she offered him.
"I will always come back to you," he repeated and it made Arwen’s lips only curve deeper. Nodding, she agreed.
"I know."
Aiden left soon, and with him gone, Arwen got busy with her work.. She didn’t have much to do, but there were still a few things that she had to approve. She was going through the details when her phone rang.
Engrossed in the file, she didn’t pick it up immediately. but she did answer it before the ring died away. "Hello," she spoke as softly as ever. The person on the other end of the call would have inevitably understood that they were interrupting her.
"Arwen," Beca’s voice came apologetic. "Did I disturb you?"
Arwen, who hadn’t seen the caller’s ID before picking up the call, at once recognized the voice. Keeping the file down on the table, she spoke, "Not at all, Aunt Beca. Sorry, it was just that I was doing something and I didn’t see you calling while taking the call."
