However, there was still a small corner in my heart that belonged to Connor, even though I had no idea where he was or what kind of life he was living.

I did not know whether he still remembered me, or if I had simply become a forgotten memory from his past.

I answered their questions one by one with confidence, and everything seemed to be going smoothly until the back door suddenly opened.

A man walked into the room with a calm and authoritative presence, and immediately everyone stood up as if they had been waiting for him.
