He didn’t comfort me and honestly, I appreciated it.

I needed nobody’s comfort.

He nodded slowly. “So,” he asked, “have you figured out what you want to do next?”

What I want to do next?

Of course I had.

I was going to find my passion. My purpose. Discover what I’m good at.

It might take time.

But I believe I’ll get there.

Not just to prove them wrong.

Not just to earn the right to say no.

But more importantly, to make up for the regrets of my past life.

I’d been given a second chance, and I wasn’t going to waste it on chasing revenge single–mindedly, or begging for love from people who never truly saw me.

That would be the real waste.

With that thought, I could no longer sit still.

“I’m leaving,” I said and stood up.

Dean didn’t look surprised. He didn’t ask questions.

He simply stood with me. “I’ll take you home.”

“I can manage,” I said.

“You didn’t drive here,” he said calmly, “so how do you plan to get to the gate?”

I froze.

That was true. The gate was far from here, so walking wasn’t an option.

The drive back home was spent in comfortable silence.

There’d never been a need to force conversation or make small talk between us. Not since the day we met.

Moreover, I had a feeling he was deliberately keeping quiet now. Giving me space because he knew my mind was elsewhere.

Which it was.

I was thinking: was there something I used to be passionate about?

Something I truly wanted to do but never got the chance?

Maybe the fusion of memories from two lives had blurred the lines too much, but I couldn’t quite recall anything with certainty.

Still… I vaguely remembered having an interest in architecture. Then later, fashion design.

But now, I wasn’t even sure if I genuinely liked those fields or if I was just curious about the work Marissa and my mother did.

A sigh escaped me.

Finding my passion wasn’t going to be easy.

“What are you sighing so heavily for? Do you know how many times it’s been already?” Dean finally spoke from the driver’s seat, breaking the silence.

“Nothing, really,” I turned to him. just realizing that figuring out what I’m good at might be harder than I thought.”

Then he added with a sidelong glance, “So, Lily… don’t rush it. Be patient. Everything will eventually fall into place.”

And once again, he was right.

He seemed to have a talent for drilling straight into the core of my doubts and somehow offering calm in return.

Not that I’d admit it, of course. Letting it get to his head would be dangerous.

So I looked at him and said mockingly, “You talk like the old boomer you are.”

He wasn’t offended.

“So you prefer younger men then?”
