    The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the rooftop where they sat. A gentle breeze rustled through their hair as they watched the horizon, wrapped in the soft hues of twilight.

    She turned to him, breaking the comfortable silence between them. “Do you have an ex?” She asked, curiosity in her voice.

    He glanced at her, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “Yeah... I do.” He replied, his tone calm.

    She hesitated for a moment, then asked again, “Did she go to our school too? Why did you guys break up?”

    He chuckled softly at her persistence. “Calm down.” He said with a light laugh, “Yeah, she went to our school too. But... we didn’t exactly break up.”

    Her brow furrowed in confusion. “Then what happened?” She asked, her head tilting slightly.

    He paused for a moment, his eyes looking distant, before he finally spoke. “She got into a car accident... and she lost her memory.”

    She nodded slowly, absorbing the weight of his words. “Where is she now?” She asked quietly, her voice filled with gentle concern.

    He turned to her, his expression softening. Slowly, he reached out and caressed her cheek with a tender touch. “She’s right in front of me.” He whispered, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and hope.
