Chapter 20: A Grandmother's Wish
After weeks of tension with Cloud and unresolved emotions about Nicole, Erica was exhausted. She had spent so much time caught in her feelings that she barely noticed how distant she had become from everything else. That changed when her grandmother invited her to visit for the weekend.
At first, Erica thought it would be like any other visit—tea on the porch, stories about the past, gentle reminders to eat more. But when her grandmother brought up Angel, she realized this visit had a purpose.
"You used to follow Angel around everywhere," her grandmother said with a smile. "You were inseparable."
Erica nodded, stirring her tea. "That was a long time ago."
"Not so long," her grandmother said. "Angel still asks about you, you know."
Erica looked up. "She does?"
Her grandmother nodded. "She's grown into such a lovely young woman. And she cares about you, Erica."
"I know it grandma,we talked a bit sometimes, besides we go to a same school"
Angel had been a huge part of her childhood, but they had drifted over the years. Now, hearing that Angel still thought about her left Erica feeling… something. It wasn't the same rush she felt around Nicole, but it wasn't nothing either.
"You should spend some time with her," her grandmother suggested gently. "Maybe you'll remember what you used to love about each other."
Erica didn't argue. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe it would even be… easy.
And maybe, just maybe, easy was what she needed.
"Yess grandma as you wish for"
Erica don't want any deeper connection into Angel cause she already know what her grandma truly wants,and she also know that Angel likes her for a long time but never confessed to her.
They both starting to talk more about each other and Erica realised that it wasn't bad at all,she was comfortable when she's with Angel.
