Chapter 54

• “Wow, I don’t know what is more shocking, you keeping this place in mind and bringing me here or the fact that you have worked three jobs here before,”
• She commented but her focus wasn’t on him but on the water display before her, he didn’t try to engage her and just gave her space to admire the beauty before her. She didn’t need to know just how many odd jobs he had done in his twenty-six years of living. He was the former king of odd jobs, and could take up more than four jobs at once, They pay in pennies so the only way he could earn more was to do more work. There were so many things he did to get money that would come off as a shock to the woman in front of him who was busy taking photos of the view with a bright smile on her face. The way all the worries she had earlier faded away, she was so easy to please; she might not know what a hard life was but he was sure that even if she had been born with less fortune, she might have found a way to find joy in the little things of life like he had done when he had nothing. One of those things, he lost at the point when he thought it was over for him. Annie, he hadn’t thought about her for weeks but in moments like this, he can’t help it when his mind thinks about her; she was one of the little things that gave him joy and hope then, even though it turned out to be false joy and hope, back then, it had been everything to him.
• “Can you please take a picture of me? This place is beautiful, I am glad I let you talk me into coming here,”
