Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“ALL right.” Garnet didn’t devote much of her attention to it, and went back to what she was doing. She Lined up all the

flowerpots precisely, spacing them evenly. Wesley finished up his part there too.

While Wesley was washing his hands, Garnet swept the soil off the walk and smoothed it down around the flower beds before

saying goodbye to

Keith. Keith looked at her retreating figure with an amiable smile.

Wesley led Garnet to his car and they both climbed in. He gave her a ride, driving downtown as the Leonard family’s house faded

into the distance.

“Wesley, any news on my transfer?” Garnet asked with a hopeful expression. She wanted to stay by his side.

After some deliberation, Wesley answered, “There is a chance. Just wait a while, okay?”

Garnet was elated when she heard a positive answer from him.

“Great!

Keep that in mind!”

They went to a snack bar, and Garnet bought the perfect winter dish-a bowl of oden. She savored the smell, taking a huge whiff of it and just holding it there, closing her eyes. The smells filled her nostrils; the light, soy-flavored dashi broth, the boiled eggs, radish, fish cakes, konnyaku and beef. She dipped her chopsticks in, pulled out a piece of fish cake and popped it in her mouth.

The oden reminded Wesley of Blair. She Liked it too.

He grabbed a cup of instant noodles and went to the hot water dispenser to fill it with steaming liquid. He used the chopsticks to mix it all up.

“How does it taste?” he asked Garnet. She was shoveling it into her mouth with gusto.

After swallowing the fish cake, she sipped some soup and Let out a Long sigh.

“Wow! Haven’t had this in a long time. It’s so nice eating oden in the wintertime. The only way things could be more perfect is a cup of bubble milk tea to wash it down with.”

Wesley nodded. ‘Then I’ll take Blair here tomorrow, he mused.

Garnet picked up a fish ball and put it to his lips.

“Hey, why not try this cuttlefish ball? It’s so juicy!”

Wesley shook his head without hesitation.

“No, thank you. Not my thing.”

“Meh! Your choice. But you’re missing out. This is really good!” Garnet didn’t mind what he said at all and continued to eat. It

didn’t take long for her to finish it.

Wesley fished out his phone to check the time; it was 11:30 a.m. ‘If ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Blair doesn’t call me by this afternoon, I’ll call her.’

He didn’t plan to be there long, just a quick meal and then back home.

However, Garnet didn’t want to let him go. Both of them were soldiers, and it was pretty hard for them to meet up. She insisted

he go shopping with her.
