With eyes slowly opening, Rena gazed dreamily into the distance, her words tinged with detachment.

“Harold is no more. There's no need for you to be jealous anymore."

Silently, she made her way upstairs.

Remaining seated, Waylen watched her retreating figure disappear into the soft shadows on the second floor.

Rena secured the necklace in a safe, knowing that when it saw the Light of day again, it might trigger memories of a man named Harold, at times.

As she closed the safe's door, she sensed Waylen's presence behind her.

Without evading his advance, she gently said, “I'm a little weary tonight."

In silence, he pressed her against the safe and pressed his lips against hers.

Finally, resting his chin on her shoulder, he murmured, “Does his passing sadden you?"

“A little," she confessed.

With a slight turn of her head, Rena caressed his handsome face with her fingers, her voice soft and sincere.

“We came to know each other after his betrayal. You Lost your memory because of me. I believed that you should be mine, and you should regain your memory and come back to me. But now, what matters most to me is your happiness. If you find someone you love, I truly don't mind. As long as she is a good person..."

Rena's emotions overwhelmed her, leaving her momentarily speechless “In that case, I would be happy to see you with her," she said tenderly.

In a tender gesture, Waylen playfully nibbled on her finger.

He didn't protest but, instead, he carried her gently to the bed.

In a wordless expression of his dissatisfaction, he engaged in intimacy with her.

As desires consumed her, Rena instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Her voice came out hoarse as she called out his name, “Waylen... Waylen..."

Waylen completely captivated her. In a soft murmur, he whispered into her ear, "Rena, do you still love me?"

The heat and sweat subsided, leaving behind a sense of cooled ardor.

Lying flat, Rena breathed gently. She turned her head to gaze at the hazy darkness outside.

The moonlight scattered through the autumn rain.
