Sawyer Thompson poured himself a glass of draught beer and looked at Mary Perryne, “Fancy a drink?”
“Sure,” Mary Perryne nodded with a smile.
Sawyer Thompson filled a glass for her, then said, “It's been years since I last sat by the roadside, enjoying a barbeque and beer just like this.”
Mary Perryne asked, “Do you remember how we met?”
“Of course, I remember.”
Perhaps thinking of the shared memories between them, Mary Perryne gave a knowing smile and lifted her glass to take a sip of the cold beer.
“Mom, Dad, I'd like to hear the story of how you two got together,” Viola Thompson chimed in.
Mary Perryne turned to look at Viola, “You really want to hear?”
“Yes.”
Mary Perryne then turned to Sawyer Thompson, “Shall we tell her?”
“Yes, but let's stick to the facts,” Sawyer Thompson replied.
Mary Perryne ignored him and continued, “Your father and I were college classmates. In the beginning, we didn't like each other very much…”
With just that sentence, she unlocked memories that had been tucked away for many years.
The family of three spent their time drinking, eating, and sharing stories.
Viola, having taken a bite of grilled fish, curiously asked, “So, who chased after who first?”
“Of course, your father chased after me.” Mary Perryne replied grinning, “You wouldn't believe it; when I first rejected him, he cried for three days and three nights!”
“I thought we agreed not to embellish!” Sawyer Thompson exclaimed, a bit exasperated.
Mary Perryne responded, “Alright, alright, he cried for three hours. His roommate told me himself, don't you dare deny it!”
Viola turned to look at Sawyer Thompson, “Dad, did you really cry?”
Sawyer Thompson: “…”
Mary Perryne laughed, “That's exactly right, I heard he even cried pitifully.”
“What happened after that?”
Now it was Sawyer Thompson's turn to smile, “Then your mother started chasing after me.”
“Mom chased after you?”
Sawyer Thompson looked proud, “That's right. I heard that someone also cried miserably.”
Mary Perryne picked up a skewer of lamb, “Is that so? I don't remember!”
As long as she didn't admit it, no one would know that she was once madly in love.
Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne were an unlikely pair when they were young.
At first, they didn't like each other at all, but eventually Sawyer Thompson found himself attracted to the talented Mary Perryne and started to pursue her. Unfortunately, Mary Perryne still held grudges against him and rejected his advances.
From their first to third year of college, Sawyer Thompson persisted for three solid years.
But all those three years, Mary Perryne constantly rejected him.
Sawyer Thompson began to cool down and started to withdraw from Mary Perryne's social circle, distancing himself from her friends to invest himself in his career.
It was during this time that Mary Perryne suddenly realized that this suitor of hers was not as bad as she thought.
She started to care about him.
She even started to think that if Sawyer Thompson confessed to her again, she would accept him.
However, even as graduation loomed, Sawyer Thompson didn't confess a second time.
What if such an outstanding guy got taken away by someone else?
Frustrated, Mary Perryne felt compelled to act.
Unexpectedly, her first confession was rejected by Sawyer Thompson.
At that time, Sawyer Thompson had his own considerations.
He felt that Mary Perryne might not truly like him, that perhaps she was just unaccustomed to his sudden withdrawal from her social circle.
Love needs mutual effort.
If only one person is persevering and giving it their all, such love is too painful.
He thought that after this rejection, Mary Perryne would give up.
Unexpectedly, three months later, Mary Perryne once again appeared in his life.
So.
In Mary Perryne's second confession, Sawyer Thompson chose to hold her hand, and the two of them ended up together.
Thinking back on all of this, it feels as if it happened just yesterday.
But in reality, half a lifetime has already passed.
Life is like a dream.
The family of three chatted while eating until eleven o'clock.
Sawyer Thompson stood up, “I'll go pay the bill.”
As soon as Sawyer Thompson stood up, a man from the next table slammed his hand on the table, “Call your Boss over here!”
The man who was making a scene was beefy, a hulk of a man with tattoos of a green dragon and white tiger on his left and right arms respectively.
The young waitress who was serving him was clearly unaccustomed to this situation, “Um, please wait…” she stammered.
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran off to fetch Dolores Frieman.
Soon, Dolores Frieman came over and said with a smile, “Gentlemen, what seems to be the problem? Are you dissatisfied with the food?”
After all, she is running a business, and even if she knew these men were causing trouble intentionally, she still had to keep a smile on her face.
