Hello everyone! Welcome back to another chapter!

Thank you guys so much for the support on this story:) We hit #150 in romance a few weeks ago and I honestly freaked out XD

(Don't tell anyone but I also kinda teared up.)

Anyway, I never imagined that this story would come this far but it did, and I'm just glad that I continued writing because through this book I found a new hobby of mine; writing.

SPEAKING OF HOBBIES...if any of you guys are interested, I started an art account on Instagram.

Go follow @jessstudiess_x On Instagram, I'll be posting artsy pictures of mybnotes and journals for all your aesthetic needs . XD

Feel free to DM me there if you have any questions about anything or you just want to talk to someone :)

Lmao, SHAMELESSS SELF PROMO

Anyways, back to the chapter. I hope you guys enjoy. (please ignore any typos.)

"Okay, we're here," I nervously opened the car door and stepped out. Hunter was still sitting, waiting for my go ahead to come out. "C-could you maybe just give me a minute?"

Hunter nodded sympathetically. "I'll wait for you in here, just call me when you're ready."

I breathed in deeply and closed the door before turning around. I took in my surroundings.

A graveyard.

A place where living people mourned for the dead.

I often felt as though a graveyard really wasn't for the dead at all, it was more of a way for people who were alive to pretend that someone who isn't here anymore still existed; and maybe that was all the comfort they needed.

It was what I needed though. Coming back to this graveyard just made me miss them even more, it made me remember.

I took one last deep breath in before turning back around and opened the car door for Hunter.

Without saying a word, he stepped out and took my hand. I glanced up at him and he looked back down at me with a reassuring nod.

Leading him further into the graveyard, I looked at the flowers I had in my other hand. Daisies.

Turning a corner, we stopped at headstone.

IN LOVNG MEMORY OF

Mario & Elena Flores

1963-2002

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.

"I thought that it was about time that you meet my parents," I said softly.

Hunter's grip on my hand tightened as he read the headstone. "Mario and Elena."

"Those were their names," I inhaled sharply.
