FreeNovelLeena knew that Rain was depressed and this made her worry. She knew she had to try to cheer him up at least a bit. She then handed him one of the glasses she carried. He took this in hand and bowed his head slightly in thanks.
No wonder tons of people came to like Leena. She was always so thoughtful and considerate. It just warmed everyone's heart.
Rain took a sip from his glass. "So… Where's Richard? I thought he was with you." "Aah, he's playing with other kids and besides, Kevin's with him so," Leena said with a shrug. "I can take a bit of a break."
She took a sip from her glass and looked where Kevin and Richard were. She smiled at the bright and playful sight. Boys at Richard's age become naughty and playful, and since Kevin wasn't around most of the time, Leena had to entertain and tag along with Richard. She was easily exhausted every time this happened.

As Leena continued to look at Kevin play with Richard and other children, Rain's eyes were on her. Leena wore a white dress as well and Rain could not help but compare her to a fairy. "You look stunning in that dress, Leena," Rain said with a soft smile. "Really, you do."

A sharp voice interrupted their conversation. Annie then saw the ball rolling towards her. She raised her head and saw a young boy running towards her.
"Richard, stop running! You might trip!" Annie knew who that voice belonged to. She could never forget how the voice of the man she loved sounded. Her body started to shake, and she could feel her eyes starting to swell.
Their eyes finally met and, it was as if, time had stopped.
Rain stood still. He could never forget how Annie looked like. He always made sure to remember her delicate features.
There was never a day wherein Rain didn't imagine that he'd meet Annie again but, he didn't expect it to be something as unexpected as this.
Annie's lips start to tremble. She parted her mouth open but, no voice came out. No matter how much she wanted to say something to Rain, her voice faltered.
