Chapter 23

Ethan’s heart completely sank at her words.

He watched her walk away, his hand falling to his side.

His exhausted eyes slowly reddened with tears.

A wave of helplessness and despair washed over him, causing his breathing to quicken.

Ethan sat alone in the corner for a long time.

The café was closing when a server came over to check on him.

He finally snapped back to reality and handed the bag to the server asking for a favor.

The ice pack helped with Avery’s swelling, but the pain still lingered.

Busy dealing with her injury she skipped dinner.

Her parents brought her a steak and were upset seeing her leg.

They asked the server who had come to deliver towels.

Hearing the hotel sold medicine for 100 euros they immediately bought some.

Soon the server brought the medicine up.

Seeing the unopened box Avery felt something was off.

This afternoon she’d asked a cleaning lady who told her the hotel didn’t sell medication.

How could that change in just two hours with a different staff member?

She was about to ask more questions, but her dad had already started applying the medicine.

“Avery we already paid for it. Don’t worry about where it came from. Let’s fix you up first.”

“Exactly. You’re in rough shape. Can you even walk tomorrow? Maybe we should rest a couple days before Iceland.”

Avery felt reassured as they calmed her down.

After a night’s rest her leg still had bruises but the pain was gone.

The family went ahead with their plans and headed to Iceland.

Chapter 23

Reuniting with her aunt after so long made Avery ecstatic. The two were inseparable.

Under the spectacular Northern Lights she raised her hand and made her 23rd birthday wish.

“I hope this year I’ll see more of the world meet more interesting people and everyone I care about stays healthy

and safe.”

Hearing such conventional wishes her aunt laughed and nudged her teasing in a low voice.

“That’s it? No wish to meet a hot guy and have a passionate romance?”

Avery knew her aunt was joking and was about to tease back when she spotted a familiar figure.

Ten yards away Ethan stood in the crowd staring at her.

Her aunt followed her gaze and her eyes lit up.

“Now that hot guy over there looks wow! Why not give him a shot?”

Ethan heard this and immediately became nervous and awkward though with a hint of hope.

Avery looked away her tone clearer than ever.

“Not gonna happen.”

Her aunt didn’t know their history and looked surprised.

“You sound so sure! Do you know him? You’re talking like he’s an ex you’ve sworn never to speak to again.”

The casual joke hit the truth exactly.

But after everything that had happened, Avery had finally let go.
