The only thing Landon wasn’t quite satisfied with was how often Christine worked late.
She could have just lived the life of pampered luxury, but she didn’t.
She got more beautiful with time, and her relationship with Landon deepened.
Their daughter was unbelievably pretty. She looked just like Christine when Christine was your
young.
In truth, she never knew that I had kept a photo of her at five years old in my wallet all these years.
Gold City was vast, but its social circles were small.
Yet, Christine and I never met.
One afternoon, I happened to see their daughter, Alicia, at a buffet restaurant.
She was hiding behind an artificial rock decoration and eating a tub of ice cream.
She looked like an adorable squirrel with how she was stuffing her cheeks.
I stopped in my tracks without thinking and found it impossible to tear my eyes away.
moment later, I heard Christine calling out her name.
Alicia heard Christine too, and she widened her eyes in panic, unsure of what to do as she clutched the tub of ice
cream.
