Chapter 20 They had both been admitted to the same university after high school . The campus had since been renovated , erasing much of the old look , but many of the fixtures inside remained unchanged . Wendy walked beside Luca , carefully pointing things out as she reminisced They used to spend hours together in the library reading and studying , are meals side by side in the cafeteria , and once they entered college , they no longer had to hide their relationship . They could do the little things openly , like holding hands as they strolled across the quad . Every night , Luca would walk her to the dormitory entrance . Couples often lingered there , reluctant to part , and Wendy always felt too shy to be so demonstrative in public . She would hurry toward the stairs , but Luca would catch her hand and suddenly steal a kiss . That had been their very first kiss . Wendy could still remember the way it felt , the heat of his lips , and the earnest look in his eyes , as though he wanted to melt her resistance away until she could only accept him . And back then , there were several other couples kissing beneath the trees , so no one even noticed them . As Wendy recounted the memory , her face softened with a smile , happiness shining through . She glanced wistfully at the tree under which it had all happened , then turned to head toward the next spot , only for Luca to catch her again . Before she could react , his face closed in , filling her vision , and then his lips pressed warmly against hers . " Then let's call this our first kiss again . " His voice was low and deep , and in that instant , Wendy felt as though she had been transported back to those years past . The present and the past overlapped in a single heartbeat , proving that even with his memories lost , Luca had never truly changed . Tears sprang to her eyes as she clutched him , pouring years of grief and longing into the lass . " You're cruel , Luca . Why did you leave me so long ? Why did you come back broken , forgetting everything ? Do you know how long I waited ? " Her words tumbled out in broken fragments , all the calm she once carried completely gone . Luca could only swallow down the ache and unease in his heart as he pulled her tightly into his arms , soothing her over and over again . " I'm here . No more fear , I won't leave you again. " They lingered beneath the dorm building for a long time , until Wendy ' eyes were swollen red from crying before she finally calmed down Neither of them spoke of what had just happened , but their fingers found each other and intertwined as they strolled quietly across the campus . Suddenly , the sky broke open and rain poured down . Neither of them had brought an umbrella . Just as Wendy was about to suggest running to the store to buy one , Luca caught her hand and pulled her into a sprint . Cold raindrops streamed down her cheeks , and she instinctively tightened her grip on his hand , shouting over the storm , " Why are we running ? Wouldn't it be easier to just buy an umbrella ? " " Because it's perfect , " he grinned . " Isn't running through the rain the most romantic thing ? " Looking at his drenched , smiling face , she knew , this was her Luca . So Wendy threw her head back and laughed into the rain , running wildly with Luca without a single care in the world . They had no destination , but it didn't matter . If it was with him , she would go anywhere . Even to the ends of the earth , even to a place with no return . As long as Luca was there , that was enough . They ran through the downpour for what felt like forever , and before they knew it , they had made their way all the way back home . Wendy bent over with her hands on her waist , panting for breath , every inch of her soaked through . Strands of wet hair clung messily to her cheeks . Luca didn't look much better , drenched like a stray dog caught in the storm . But when their eyes met , both of them broke into quiles . In that moment , even dripping wet , it felt inexplicably joyful and romantic . He toweled her hair dry , lis voice low against her ear , " Romantic , isn't it ? " She smiled and swatted him playfully , " You're completely soaked ! " He feigned injury until their laughter turned quiet , their closeness undeniable . His hands slipped around her waist .
