Chapter: 2567

Rachel, feeling the weight of the silence glanced up at him. She was about to speak again when Alberto let out an almost imperceptible sigh and dipped his head slightly, chin resting on her shoulder.

“I don't know," he murmured, his voice uncharacteristically hesitant, a stark contrast to his usual decisiveness. "I think I might have forgotten something very important."

Now it was Rachel's turn to fall silent, her thoughts swirling. After a long pause, she wrapped her arms around him, her fingers tracing a soothing path up his back, stopping at just the right spot. "But if something is forgotten, maybe it wasn't that important in the first place. Sometimes, I think forgetting isn't so bad."

Alberto pursed his lips, then relaxed them. He sighed. “Maybe. What about you, Rachel?”

He said her name softly, with a tender warmth that seemed to weave a spell around her.
