st as they were about to dig in, Amelia heard a familiar voice.
“Mark, honey, is something wrong? You barely touched your food. You’ve been so out of
sorts lately.”
Amelia’s heart sank. It was Vivian and Mark.
She tried to ignore them, but Vivian noticed them and sauntered over, feigning surprise.
“Amelia? What are you doing here?”
Mark followed, his face hardening when he saw Ethan. “Have some decency. Do you really think this is appropriate?”
Amelia raised her glass of water and splashed it in his face. “I’ll go wherever I please.”
Vivian gasped, rushing to dab at Mark’s face with a napkin. “Amelia, what are you doing?
This is a couples–only restaurant! He was just looking out for you! Why are you being such a child?”
Amelia laughed humorlessly. “A couples–only restaurant? Even more reason for me to be
here, then.” She wrapped her arm around Ethan’s. “I’m here with my boyfriend. Is that a problem?”
Vivian’s lips curled into a sneer. “Oh, really? Congratulations! You moved on quickly, didn’t you? Dumped one day, new boyfriend the next.”
Amelia’s eyes narrowed. She noticed the necklace Vivian was wearing. It was the matching one to a necklace she had gifted Mark last year for his birthday. She had wanted to wear them together, but he had refused, tossing it aside.
Amelia grabbed the necklace, ripping it off Vivian’s neck. “You disgust me! First, you steal my boyfriend, and now you’re wearing my jewelry? Pathetic!” She threw the necklace at Mark’s chest and stormed off, pulling Ethan along with her.
Mark lunged for her, but Ethan intercepted him, shoving him back. As Mark swung his fist at Ethan, Amelia grabbed a metal water bottle from her bag and smashed it against his
head.

Mark cried out in pain, clutching his head, his face contorted in shock and anger. “You’re hitting me… for him?”
Amelia stood protectively in front of Ethan, her voice cold and steady. “Yes. You can protect Vivian, I can protect Ethan. I’m done being your doormat! We’re over! I suggest you move
on.”
Mark stared at her, his expression unreadable. Before he could say anything else, Amelia grabbed Ethan’s hand and dragged him out of the restaurant, leaving a stunned silence in

Ethan, or rather, Tommy, smiled, his eyes twinkling. “You remember me.”
Tears streamed down Amelia’s face as memories flooded her mind.
