Christine asked, Oh, you’re talking about Emilia Quimby?” 

Miranda echoed, Emilia Quimby?” 

Yeah, she and Paul were in the Department of Biology together. I heard she was the campus belle back then.” 

Miranda smiled and nodded. She really was beautiful.” 

Emilia’s natural look was simple yet striking, sporting side bangs and a high ponytail. Despite that, she stood out instantly, and her beauty was impossible to overlook

Rumors had it she and Paul were a couple.Christine was unable to suppress a smile. Buthe later switched to the Physics Faculty, and she went abroad. The rumors just kind of died down after that

Paul hasn’t been in a relationship all these years. I wonder if he’s still thinking about her. Miranda, why’d you suddenly ask about her?” 

Miranda smiled and said casually, Oh, nothing. Just curious.” 

By the 

way, where’s Olivia? I knew you were coming, so I told her to make rum raisin rice pudding,Christine said

She went out to buy groceries. I can go get it myself

Alright, then get me some also,Christine said

Miranda shook her head. No.” 

Christine was dumbfounded

Miranda continued, The doctor said low sugar diet and no alcohol.” 

Christine panicked. Butit’s not that alcoholic. I even told Olivia to use less sugar‘ 

Miranda remained firm. Still no.” 

Christine went silent

Miranda said, But I can make you some gourmet honey instead.” 

Christine’s face lit up immediately. Yes, please.”

Dinner was a joint effortOlivia handled the prep work while Miranda cooked. Miranda had no choice since Christine loved the food she made

After the meal, Olivia pulled Miranda aside and whispered, Dr. Young ate more than usual tonight. When you have the time, you should drop by more often. She’s always thinking about you.” 

Okay,Miranda replied

Once the table was cleared and the dishes were left for Olivia to handle, Miranda finally had a moment to check her phone

When she unlocked her phone, she saw three missed calls from Paul. So, she quickly called him back.What’s up?” 

There was a pause on the other end for a couple of seconds. NothingI just wanted to ask when you’re coming back. I miss you.” 

He spoke in a low and husky voice, which carried an intimate tone that sent a shiver through her. Miranda smiled faintly. Didn’t we just see each other this morning?” 

It’s not enough,Paul responded

She was speechless

Miranda, I wish I could spend every moment with you

Two weeks ago, Miranda wouldn’t have believed Paul could ever say something so sentimental. But now, she had to admit this was her new reality

I think I’ll stay a little longer. I want to spend more time with Dr. Young,she said

Alright.” 

They exchanged a few more words before ending the call

When Miranda turned to head back inside, she noticed Christine watching her with an amused smile

Miranda, come here. I have something to show you.” 

Miranda followed Christine to the study, where she pulled out a metal box from the cabinet. It wasn’t small, and its surface showed the marks of time

What’s this?Miranda asked

Christine replied, When you asked about Emilia earlier, it reminded me of this box. Back when Paul transferred to the Physics Faculty, his classmates threw him a farewell party

Everyone brought gifts, but no one had the nerve to give them to him directly. So, they put everything in this box and asked me to pass it to him

But shortly after, he went abroad. His undergraduate program was a twoplustwotwo years here and another two years abroad. I never got the chance to give this to him

The graduation photo you saw earlier was taken two years later when he returned for the graduation
