"May I ask you something?" He asked kindly. I nodded at him approvingly. "What is that locket necklace you are always wearing?" He questioned pointing at my necklace.
"It'...

"Did you make sure that it is kept safe and clean?" Han asked.
"Yes, don't worry. No one would ever think that something is kept at that storage." The little girl giggled.
Han was down on one knee to be leveled with the little unknown girl. They were at the front garden of the house, just next to the swing. Han smiled at the girl in the captivating cute way that showed his gums. He then ruffled the girl's hair who giggled even more.
"Han?" Someone called from inside the house.
I looked at the direction of the house to find that it was Anastasia coming out. It wasn't the teen version of her. It was the adult one with the shape that resembles me now. That made me shove my eyes back to Han, only to realize that he too was in his adult form that looks exactly like the one I see every day.
The little girl pulled something from her pocket and handed it to him in a hurry. Han looked at it before he stands up to his full length. He tightened his grip around the item and pushed his hand behind his back. "Thank you, young lady. Now go." He whispered, sending the little girl a playful wink that made her cheeks flush but she didn't take time to start sprinting away.
"What are you doing here?" Anastasia who completely came out asked him.
"Just having a talk with the young lady." He answered, still keeping his hand to his back.
"I am starting to get jealous of her." She said as she reached out for his other arm and linked her own to it. "She is always around. She is always curious and always asks questions."
"Do not be concerned about her. She is a good kid." He said smiling warmly.
"Well, we will discuss that later after we get that photo taken." She said, pulling him to the house.
"I do not understand why you want me to take that photo to the extent of bringing a photographer with all his equipment here. I told you before that I want to save that exact space for our wedding photos."
She stopped and turned to face him after she unlinked their arms. She reached her two hands out for his. I could see that his face darkened. Maybe he was afraid that she might find the item held in his hand. The problem was solved once he opened his grip to drop the item to the wet grass behind him that muffled the sound of the item landing to it, just a second before she reaches his hand.
"And I want that exact space to be occupied by your photo so that when I sit by the fireplace to enjoy its warmness while waiting for you to come home from work, I would not feel that lonely without you. I would keep my eyes on yours through those photos till you come back safe."
The wide smile that he was already having went even wider. His eyes were sparkling with love for her. He took his hand out of hers and placed it on the side of her face to caress her silky cheeks. She tilted her head so that it would lean more in his palm. He moved closer to her, bringing his face nearer to the reddened cheek of hers. He then planted a soft gentle kiss on that cheek before he quickly and shyly pulls away.
