"I think I found the first clue" Sam said making me look at him with wide eye

"What do you mean?" I asked frantically wanting to know anything, anything as long as it will take me a step towards Cataleya

"This" he said while handing me a familiar piece of paper making me furrow my brows

"How did you even find it" I asked him making him roll his eyes at me "it's not like you were hiding it it was on your desk and I wanted a pen" he said simply

I read the words that I knew so well even memorized them

"When you feel the hearts was apart for a long time

When you feel they are missing each other

And a part of them is missing

Make sure to put them together

And you will find me

Even in the dark"

"Why do you think those words will help me in anything?" I asked extremely confused.

He sighed clearly irritated by my lack of knowledge

"You know better than anyone that Cataleya isn't the one who use words but actions so giving you the necklace is Cataleya but giving you this isn't at all her thing" he said slowly while looking at the paper at hanf

He was right, back then I found it strange but didn't dwell on it because I found it sweet

"And think about it a girl who found a medicine for cancer wouldn't be hard for her to use a synonym for 'missing' like a normal person would do when he writes a text

I think she wanted to highlight this word

Do you remember something she told you that gives you a hint about this word or something?"

He asked me making me surprised about the way he thought

He didn't look at it as a romantic letter but in a logical way

Just like Cataleya would have done

I re-read the words but this time looking at it with different light

Missing

Missing

I started thinking about the most time she used her words

And acted out of her way

And suddenly it hit me

The time she most talked about herself in this age and not her past

When she talked about the test of Mr.Navarro she said the same exact word

"So I counted the points of the test and I was right there were 20 points missing and I knew he made a trick"

"Mr.Navarro her teacher I think she was talking about him" I told Sam with a slight hope in my eyes

"Do you think she meant that he is the one?" I asked him looking at the words once again

"No I don't think because her next words are Make sure to put them together I think she is talking about this paper and her teacher because she already did put the hearts together" he said while looking at the complete necklace on my neck

And it's like everything was clear now her last words "My heart is with you now I know you will find me I have faith in you"

Wasn't her type of good bye she wanted me to remember this paper
