Lucien’s eyes softened, a smile btugging /bat his lips. “Yeahb, /bI do. bShe’s /bbmy /bbwife /bbnow/bb./b”

The crowd bwent /bwild with cheersb, /bbbut /bKaia’s mind wentpletely nkb. /b

Was it really her that Lucien was btalking /babout? She was his first love when he was twenty–four? bWhy /bdidn’t she bknow /bbthat/bb? /b

When he was twenty–fourb, /bshe would bhave /bbeen only seventeen. But bwhen /bbon /bearth did they dateb? /b

By the end of bthe /bbonfire partyb, /bbKaia /bwas still bin /ba bdaze/b.

Vanessa invited her bto /bwatch bthe meteor /bbshower /bbthat /bwas expected btonight/b.

Kaia declined politely with a shake of bher /bhead. She went back to her tent and rummaged bthrough /bevery memory in her head.

She was sure there was no way she’d had a secret early rtionship with Lucien.

As harsh as it might sound, her first love was indeed Alden.

Suddenlyb, /ba message from Lucien popped up: [Come to my tent.]

Kaia peeked bout /bof her tent furtively. After making sure no one was around, she dashed into Lucien’s tent.

As soon as she stepped bin/bb, /bLucien wrapped his barms /baround her.

“Your tent seems bbigger /bthan mine!” Kaia remarked.

Lucien smiled, “Sure it is. I asked them to customize it for me a bfew /bdays ago. It’s got a kingb–/bsized sleeping bagb!/b”

It was quite bsomething /bbto /bhave such a huge sleeping bag in a

tent.

“Alright, spill the beans. What’s this about byour /bfirst love?” Kaia demanded, btrying /bbto /blook bstern /bas bshe /bpointed at Lucien.

Lucien took bher /bhand and bgently /bsucked on her bfinger/bb, /bteasing it with his tongue.

Just that one move was benough /bbto /bmake Kaia’s ears turn red.

“Do you remember that game from your sophomore year summer?” Lucien asked.

Kaia’s eyes widened in shock.

“Are… are you Luika?b” /b

“Yes, silly. It’s abo of our names. How could you not recognize it?b” /b

Kaia was really taken aback.

granddaughter in her grandma’s eyes and the model student in her teachers‘ eyes. But no matter what she did, she couldn’t win her father’s bfavor/bb. /b

Kaia always strived bfor /bperfectionb, /bjust hoping to get a bit bof /bapproval bfrom /bTobias.

But when bshe /bwas bseventeen/bb, /bno matter bhow /bbhigh /bher grades were, Tobias never seemed satisfied. That was when she first had a rebellious bthought/b.

Sob, /bshe spent bthe /bwhole summer vacation bying /bban /bonline bgame /binstead of studying. She bgot /bhooked on it for ba /bwhole month.

In the bgame/b, Kaia partnered with ba /bbyer /bnamed Luika, who topped the wealth rankings. They rarely spoke–Kaia wasn’t interested in socializing bthen/bb. /bShe bonly /bformed the in–game partnership toplete some couple quests and earn the rare gear rewards.

Kaia remembered that every time she logged in and saw his bavatar /bonlineb, /bshe’d send a message: [Are you there?]

And Luika’s reply was always short and simple: [Yeah.]

bThen /bthey’d teleport to the dungeon map and brun /bthrough bthe /bdungeons over and over againb. /b

One dayb, /bwhen Kaia snapped bout /bof bit/bb, /bshe uninstalled bthe /bgame.

Thest time she logged bin/bb, /bshe typed in the chat box to Luika: b[/bbI’m /bquitting the game. Find another partner.b] /b

After bthat/bb, /bshe never logged into that ount again.

Kaia wrapped her arms around Lucien’s neckb. /b“Did you know it was bme /bback thenb?/bb” /b

Lucien’s eyes sparkled bwith /baffection. “Yes.”

Well, it made sense since bthe /bname was a bbination /bof theirs.

Kaia wasn’t sureb. /b“Did byou /bblike /bbme /bback bthen/bb?/bb” /b

As expected, Lucien was bfirm/bb. /bb“/bYes.”

bKaia /bhugged bhim /bbtightly /band nuzzled bhis /bbneck/b. b“/bWhy didn’t byou /btell me? bIf /bbyou /bhad, maybe…b” /b

“Maybe byou /bwould bhave /bbfallen /bfor me firstb?/bb” /bLucien gave a self–deprecating bsmile/bb. /b“Kaiab, /bbyou /bweren’t even an badult /bback then. Who knew bthat /bthe rose I’d been watching for so long would be picked bup /bby someone else in the bblink /bbof /bban /beye?”

bJust /bas bAllen /bhad said, Lucien lived by strict principles.

bBut /bbwhenever /bbhe /bthought about Kaia, he felt deep remorse for not making ban /bexception for her.

He often wondered if bhe /bhad shown up before Alden proposed to Kaia, would she have bfallen /bbin /blove bwith /bbhim /bfirstb? /b

It was ba /bquestion bthat /bbno /bone could answerb, /bbnot /beven Kaia herselfb. /b

Sob, /bif it hadn’t been for bthe /bbtruth/bb–/bbtelling /bgame the day before, Lucien didn’t n bto /bbtell /bKaia about this little episode between them.

“Honey, I love you even more todayb./bb” /b

Lucien raised an eyebrowb, /bblooking /ba bit disgruntled. “Only a

little moreb?/bb” /b

Kaia closed her eyesb, /bbher /blongshes bfluttering /bbslightly /bas she kissed him on the lips.

Lucien let her take the lead, benjoying /bbher /binitiative and the way

she kissed him.

In the tentb, /bthe sounds of their passionate embrace were clearly audibleb, /bmaking one blush.

Just as Lucien’s fingers started to touch Kaia’s back, her phone

Kaia fumbled to take bout /bthe vibrating phone bfrom /bher pocket. The name shing on the screen was her colleague, Vanessa.

“Heyb, /bKaia. bWhy /baren’t byou /bin your btent? /bI was bgoing /bbto /bdrag you out for some photos.”

Kaia stammered an excuse, “Oh, Vanessa. I–I went to the restroomb. /bI’m not bfeeling /bwell todayb, /bso I bwon’t /bjoin you guys.”

Meanwhile, Lucien yfully nipped bat /bKaia’s earlobe and ran his tongue along bthe /bedge of her ear.

Kaia’s breathing became rapid. She pinched her bthigh /bhard to stop herself from bmaking /ba sound.
