[ At Hiroshi\'s Villa… ]

Abigail locked herself in her room. She hadn\'t recovered yet from the things she discovered today. Karina showed her something that would destroy her relationship with Dave. But she didn\'t know why despite everything, she didn\'t want Dave to lose his job. Being a policeman was his dream.

"What happened to you, Dave? What have you done?" Abigail slammed her eyes shut. She shed some tears as she kept thinking about Dave. She was in pain. She was hurting. But she couldn\'t hate him completely.

Abigail was getting emotional once more. She couldn\'t wait to see Dave. Time had passed and she eventually drifted off to sleep.

Abigail finally saw Dave in the form of a dream. She didn\'t know if this was a dream or a nightmare. She saw herself standing at the center of the flower field. Then someone called her name.

"Abi!"

She turned around only to see Dave smiling and waving at her. Abigail felt confused for a moment.

\'Is this just a dream?\' She asked herself.

She just stood in her spot just watching Dave. He was the one who ran to her, hugging her tightly. Abigail didn\'t know what to say. For some unknown reason, her tears just continued flowing down her face.

Dave, on the other hand, embraced her body tightly. One hand was holding her back while his other hand was grabbing the back of her head.

"Abi…" He called her name with so much love.

Abigail burst out crying upon hearing his voice. She had been waiting for him. There were lots of things she wanted to ask him. But she was overwhelmed by her emotions that she couldn\'t utter a word. There was a lump in her throat.

"You know that I love you so much. You are the only woman I love," Dave said those words with earnest sincerity.

"Please forgive me for all my shortcomings. My only wish is for you to be happy."

Abigail felt like her heart was being squeezed right now by just listening to his words. "I don\'t want to make you cry. But I did. I\'m sorry, Abi…"

Abigail could feel that Dave began to loosen his grip on her body. He started to let her go, breaking the hug. He held her shoulders and gazed at her intently. He lifted her chin and wiped her tears using his thumb.

"Don\'t cry, my love." Dave softly said, planting a kiss on her eyes. He kissed away her tears.

While Dave was trying to console her, Abigail recalled Karina\'s words. It was like her wake up call. She pushed Dave and maintained her cold expression.

"Dave. We are over. I don\'t love you anymore," Abigail lied. She was doing this because she wanted Dave to take responsibility for Karina. She was breaking up with him. This was also for his own good. 

Though this was just a dream, Abigail wanted to push Dave because this what she planned on doing once she met him.

Dave\'s eyes were coated with sadness when Abigail said it was over for them. But instead of getting mad, Dave just smiled at her, nodding his head. "I understand. I don\'t deserve you. I came here to let you know that I love you so much… but at the same time, to say goodbye."

Dave stepped close to her once more. He planted another soft kiss on her forehead. He stayed like that for several seconds before stepping away from her.

"I wish you happiness, Abi. Don\'t cry anymore because of me. You can now live together with your family. This is your dream… a complete family. I am no longer needed in your life. Thank you for loving me…"

After saying that, Dave turned around and walked away. His figure began to fade from her sight. Abigail had the urge to follow him. But he completely vanished. She was left alone in her spot. Then her tears began to flow once again like pouring rains. 

"Dave!!!" She tried calling his name. She couldn\'t do this. She thought she could say goodbye to him. But she was wrong. Abigail ran in the direction where Dave disappeared from her sight. She was hoping that she would see him but Dave was long gone.

"Dave! Don\'t leave!" Abigail screamed again.

"Abi! Abi! Wake up!" Jane was shaking Abigail\'s body. She heard her calling Dave\'s name in her sleep.

Soon, Abigail opened her eyes. She hugged her sister as soon as she recognized her. Abigail\'s chest was heaving up and down. She was panting so hard.

Jane didn\'t say a word. She just rubbed Abigail\'s back, calming her down first. She didn\'t know how she would tell her the bad news. It looked like Abigail had just experienced a bad dream with Dave.

"Sis… I want to see Dave. I want to find him. Do you know where he is? Did he run away from me?" Abigail asked Jane in her desperate voice.

Jane clenched her fists. \'What should I do now? I don\'t know how I will bring up the bad news. I\'m afraid… my sister won\'t be able to handle this.\'

"Sis… Help me find Dave. I need to talk to him…" Abigail broke the hug as she gazed at her with her pleading eyes.

Jane cleared her throat. She could no longer hide this from Abigail. She was about to say a word when her phone rang. It was a call from Cherry. She immediately answered the phone, knowing it was urgent.

A few seconds later, Jane\'s expression became solemn. She turned to her sister and embraced her tightly. "Sister… Listen to me. I want you to be strong no matter what."

Abigail had a nagging feeling about this. She glanced at Jane confusedly. "Why? What happened? Is it about Dave?"

Badum! Badum! Badum!

Abigail didn\'t know why but she felt like her dream was a kind of premonition. Did something bad happen to Dave?

Jane held her sister\'s hands. "Fuck. I don\'t know how to put them in words," Jane murmured.

Without explaining things to Abigail, Jane just pulled her, dragging her out of her room and guiding her to the garage. 

"I\'ll bring you to him. Just tell him everything you want to say… everything in your heart." Jane said meaningfully.
