133 The promise she kept

Even though Cosette slept late, she still woke up two hours later. Her lips curled up subtly as her eyes softened with affection, having Maxen as the first person she had seen. It reminded her of those beautiful yet fleeting memories of the past. 

"Maxen," she whispered, caressing his face with her fingertips. "I kept my promise. It's not a 'what if' scenario anymore. It's happening."

Her smile stretched wider, thinking that she still did many things she had promised to do if she was given a chance to relive this life. Although she didn't remember until now, her heart remembered Maxen and her strong desire so they could have a story of their own that would end happily, not tragically.
