Chapter 100: Bringing Back
Talia looked at the file that wasn’t that large. The video probably won’t be longer than a minute. She felt her heart beat like a drum out of excitement.
She pulled out the tissues from the side and wiped her face as she had cried unknowingly. After gathering herself together she clicked the file.
Arthur’s face appeared in her monitor. It seemed like he had recorded the video in his laptop webcam sitting on her couch.
How is he this handsome?
It seemed like he didn’t know what to say and he ended up staring the camera for fifteen seconds. For Talia it felt like he was staring at her. His eyes were slightly reddened as if he was tired or sad.
After fifteen seconds, he cleared his throat, "Iris," his deep baritone voice vibrated in the speaker of her laptop and Talia looked at him attentively, still grinning ear to ear. He looked so cute.
And there was no words spoken again as it seemed like he still couldn’t find words and he scratched his earlobes. It brought smile to Talia’s lips as she knew it was his nervous tic.
And as the video progressed, he just looked around trying to speak and as if he reached to a decision, he took a deep breath and stared right at the camera.
"My Iris...," he held out his hand and Talia reached to his hand on the monitor.
" I’m sorry... I... I’ll bring you back soon. Wait for me. I love you."
He said and Talia could feel his words entering her ears, coursing through her veins and ending up in her heart making it skip like a gazelle.
