"Nora, it's a year, since Arnie passed away. Why are you punishing yourself for someone you didn't love?" Fiona had dragged me to her party forcibly.

I met my highschool friends and loosened up, while certain memories about this house surface. After few minutes of catching up, I walk to garden for a breath of fresh air only to be met by her brother.

"Richard?" I'm stoked.

"Nora? Sorry about Arnie" he deadpaned.

"Its okay. Where's your wife?" I look around desperately.

"I'm awaiting her reply since four years" lone tear trickles down his cheek.

"It was a yes, always"!
