Troy could see the redness in Ayla\u2019s eyes. She clearly hadn\u2019t slept well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just him who\u2019d been up all night. That thought gave him a strange sense of comfort. But he also saw some determination in her gaze, a kind of cold resolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t flinch when he leaned closer. She didn\u2019t care why he suddenly moved toward her. Her face stayed blank, calm, and unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy studied her. Ayla studied him too. After today, she wouldn\u2019t have another chance to look closely at the man she once loved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wanted to remember this face so she could avoid him in her next life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a few seconds, she finally asked, \u201cDone staring?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy pulled his eyes away and looked forward. He didn\u2019t say another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hit the gas, and the car shot forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had sat in her car before. She always drove smooth and steady, the kind of driving that made people feel safe. You\u2019d never guess she could get into an accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But today? She drove fast and impulsively, sliding into every tiny gap on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cHey, slow down!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t listen at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His glare hit her profile hard, but then something about her movements caught him. Back at the airport, when she forced a stop on him, she had already shown unbelievable control over a car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone who could drive like this probably didn\u2019t have a soft personality. Not at all. She had edges. Sharp\u00a0<\/p>\n
ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy froze for a second. He never expected that on the day of their divorce, he would finally see the real Ayla-strong, fierce, and nothing like the gentle version she showed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had only been soft with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen did you learn to drive?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla replied, \u201cAfter I turned 18.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou drive well. Why didn\u2019t you tell me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla almost laughed at the irony. She turned, giving him a cold, unbelieving look, as if asking, \u201cHow could\u00a0<\/p>\n
that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you even say\u00a0<\/p>\n
She eased her speed then. The car steadied, becoming smooth again, just like before. Then she said,\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re seriously asking me that? You knew how I felt about you. If you had ever shown even a little interest in me, do you think I wouldn\u2019t have told you when I learned to drive or how good I got at it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy heard the bitterness in her voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It shut him up instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because she was right. He never noticed the small things. He never cared enough to ask. Even if he saw something, it never stayed long in his mind. He was always distant. Always cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had nothing left to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter what he said now, she would only throw it back at him. And he deserved it. What else can he talk about?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u8457\u00a0<\/p>\n
But then, after a quiet moment, Ayla spoke first. \u201cTroy, I\u2019ve always wanted to ask you something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t even realize how quickly he answered. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you save me back then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla thought back to three years ago. Her mom had disappeared by the ocean. Deep down, Ayla always believed her mom wasn\u2019t gone, but she knew that was only a lie she told herself. The truth was too painful to face. So she kept going back to the beach. After a few visits, she slipped and fell into the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla could swim. She wasn\u2019t going to drown right away. She floated in the waves, drifting farther out. Soon her strength faded. She didn\u2019t even know if she was trying to end everything or just trying to punish herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when the real panic hit-the sharp, burning pain of not being able to breathe-Ayla realized she wanted to live. She wanted it badly. Unfortunately, she didn\u2019t have the strength to fight anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right then, a hand slid under her back. Strong. Steady. Troy\u2019s arm wrapped around her and pulled her toward the cruise boat. She blacked out in his hold. He didn\u2019t panic. He pressed on her chest. He gave her CPR.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And when she finally opened her eyes, she saw Troy leaning over her. Water dripping down his pale, sharp face. What shocked her more was the delight in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He whispered, \u201cYou\u2019re finally awake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, Ayla realized something she had never expected: someone in this world wanted her to live. And that someone was Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took her to the hospital. He paid the bills, and he didn\u2019t leave until the doctor said she was safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter what happened later in their marriage, Ayla knew she would never forget the moment they first met, that moment he pulled her back from the edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla waited, but Troy didn\u2019t answer her question. She asked again, \u201cSo it was just instinct? Saving a stranger\u00a0<\/p>\n
who was about to drown?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

If she hadn\u2019t brought it up, he might have forgotten that day entirely. He never thought about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He vaguely remembered being in a bad mood back then, though he couldn\u2019t recall the reason. He rarely had good days; it must have felt like any other ordinary day to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took the boat out to sea to clear his head. He was standing there, letting the wind cool him down, when he suddenly noticed movement in the water. If he remembered correctly, Ayla was wearing white. She was struggling, barely keeping herself afloat. Her effort showed she wanted to live. Her fading strength showed she couldn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t think. He jumped. By the time he got her out of the water, she was unconscious. He started CPR right away. When she opened her eyes, he saw a pair of cool, icy eyes staring back at him. Eyes that melted a second later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
