"No more words." He whispered. "Come with me." He grabbed her hand and walked away. Mr Sy and Mr Hamilton's expression is unexplainable. They looked irritated and didn't know what's happening.

For some weird reason she didn't even fight it and let it happen. Their fingers intertwined. "What is that supposed to be? I don't want any of the other wi...I mean, my coworkers to see us!", she quickly said.

"And why did you mention Liebchen? Is that some kind of perverted plan of yours?", she stopped when they were standing outside in front of the hotel.

He pulled her hand and ran to the cliff, facing the wide ocean. The waters mirrored the dark skies.

"No, I don't have to be a pervert, women are always there to chase me. Liebchen is your cat. Do you still remember the one who gave her to you?" He looked away, facing the horizon.

"We're immortals. We're both hundreds of years old. Just me and liebchen." She told him all of these because she knows that he wouldn't believe her though it was true. "He would probably think that I'm joking." She said to herself.

"I know." He answered straight. It surprised her. Her eyes become fireflies. He faced her and said, "We are back, meu amor."

Her eyes literally glimmered. Bright purple rays of light came out from all over her body when she heard him said "meu amor", as if she heard that word long time ago before. The words felt like magic, a sorcery, an enchantment of a spell.
A strong wind blew. The powerful breeze from the ocean blew her hair and dress, still sparkling in purple and black shimmer. The wind became stronger and it made her feel something. Their thoughts were brought somewhere far.

She felt something that drew her closer to him. Though, she was taken aback by it and felt vulnerable. Something she never felt before. Eva looked down to the ground and pulled her hand back out of his grip. "How do you "know" that? Why would you find out all of that about me? What for? You should mind your own business!" She tried to sound harsh but the words that came out were soft.

"You posses too much power in your body, you hold too much power that it made you forget almost everything about yourself. You must find your heart again. I know you more than you know yourself, meu amor." He held her face, softly and full of care.

She shook her head. "Nobody knows me...what do you mean with all of that? We have never meet each other before!" She looked around and made sure that nobody saw them together. "We shouldn't be here together. Besides it will start to rain soon!"

She felt exposed and afraid that he might really found something out about her. She always hid her true identity. "I-...I would like you not to approach me anymore. And don't ever talk to me again!"

"Eva!", he pulled her back, grabbed her wrist and the sound of her name startled her. She looked at him and couldn't defend herself anymore. "I know that it's hard for you to show your emotions but I will help you with it ... do you remember when we used to hide in the forests because we didn't want to go home yet. Our parents were looking for us but I didn't care. All I could see was you and I wanted to spend as much time with you as possible. And that never changed!"

Eva didn't know what to say. In fact she didn't even know how to breath or if all of this was just a very realistic dream. "Don't say that. Please stop!", she whispered and all of the memories slowly came back.

He knew that he needed to confront her with it.
"Or...do you remember our first kiss?", he asked and smiled.

A stronger breeze blew once again, touching their skin, and giving them chills. Facing each other, he held her hand and the the side of her face with full embrace. Feeling the comfort of his touch, she closed her eyes and a felt a memory all over the place. She saw a girl and a boy, being happy on the cliff.
