Aldana was not very sure how Eric managed to find such a hidden place without any clues. Anyway, when she took the elevator upstairs after lunch, Eric was already in the bedroom.
The window was wide open, and the tall, sharp young man stood by the windowsill with his arms crossed. When she opened the door and came in, he slightly raised his head to look at her.
This was their first meeting after he had taken Ellen away.
The last time she saw him, it felt like ages since they last met, so long that it felt like a reunion with an old friend.
Even her heartbeat drowned in the passage of time, her heart no longer stirred with the slightest ripple.
The feeling was the same now.
She looked at him and softly asked, "Why did you come?"
Eric took a step forward, as if he was speaking from long ago, "I'm here to rescue you."
After so many years, he was finally willing to come and rescue her.
