"Excuse me," there was knock at the front door. A head peeped in; the door wasn't locked, "Is Nina visiting?"
"It's my sister!" Nina was on her second sandwich as she gasped and a piece dropped out of her mouth. "Thanks for the food!" She stood up from her chair. She looked at his side of the table. "Hey, Andrew..." he only nibbled on the edges of the bread.
"Hmm? Oh, you can just leave the plate in the sink, thanks." You didn't finish your food.
~~~
Andrew walked the sisters to the front door. "Huh? You want me to come see the New Year fireworks with you?" Nina's sister and Andrew stood there chatting at the front door, "Well, won't I be in the way of the whole family?"
"It's absolutely okay! Right Nina?" She pulled her little sister over and used her head as an arm rest.
"Huh?!"
"Don't you want to start your new year with you beloved?" Her sister whispered to Nina. The little girl froze; her face was beet red. She didn't retaliate. "Do! Definite kill! Gather your courage! Be a brave kid!" Her sister, Mina, cheered her on in the background. She had a hobby of teasing her younger sister.
"Umm," the you girl staggered over to the adult man, "It's going to be our first time going to the fireworks in this town, so we don't really know where it is. If we're all together with Andrew, I think we'd feel better."
"Alright then, if you put it that way," he smiled gently.
"You said it! It's a promise then!" Mina interjected energetically. "Awesome! Let's go, Nina." The eleven year old turned around.
"Ah! That's right! Andrew," She ran back to him, "Will you promise to keep yourself warm today and go to sleep soon?"
He chuckled, "Yeah, sure."
"Thank you! See you again tomorrow!" Nina ran back to her sister.
~~~
It's been a long time since I last saw fireworks with on New Years with Andrew.
~~~
"Thanks sis!" She laughed.
"You owe me your pudding."
"Eh?!"

Story Time with Dolce! Part 10
From earlier, "Where would I place the staple remover?" Nina asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. The draw in that room is fine," he pointed at an out of place nightstand with only three drawers. She pulled out the bottom one. Hmm? There was a old crumpled piece of paper laying in the center. Is this trash? If it is, I wonder if it'll be okay to throw it away... The little girl picked it up and began to unfold it. Might be...
She froze.
It was an old photo of Hillary and Andrew by the lake.
~~~
It's from that time.
~~~
"Let's come see the swans again."
They unpacked the lunches Hillary made,"Woah, aren't these sandwiches too big? You used five pieces of bread and four different ingredients! This is too much!" The girl beside his had already hug into her sandwich, chomping away happily.
~~~
He still has it....
~~~
Yoink.
Andrew drew the picture out of her hands. "Huh?" She turned around, "I'm sorry!" She didn't look up, "I just... that photo..." She couldn't find the right words. The little girl pursed her lips.
Andrew smiled solemnly, "Look," he handed the photo back to Nina, "You can look it at, only because it's you." She took the paper from his hands., "But don't look at it for too long. It's embarrassing." He looked away smiling sheepishly, "I was young."
~~~
Andrew is...
~~~
Nina handed the picture back to him and he put it back into the drawer, "In the past I went to the lake with her. Only once though," his smile went from sheepish to sad.
~~~
Even now, he still remembers Hillary and recalls memories of her. It would be nice if i could say, "I was Hillary in my previous life." But if I said that, how...
~~~
"Let's go then, before the apple pie gets cold."
~~~
I won't say it.
...
Because...
...
I'm here as me.

Story Time with Dolce! Part 9
It's been eleven years since that story at swan lake. - Nina Doyle, 11 years old.
~~~
Creak...
"Ugh, I can't reach it," A little girl stood on a stood on her toes, reaching for the stapler remover at the top of a calendar. POP! It came out! And she began to fall. "Uwaahh!"
Thud.
"Hey, don't push yourself too hard." Nina looked to see Andrew.
"Andrew!"
"Leave the high places to me, because big brother don't need a footstool," the little girl blushed and wigged her way safely out of his harms and onto the ground.
POP
POP
POP
He took out the rest of the staples, "Hand me a new calendar," he held out his large hand.
"Uh! Yeah!" She frantically rummaged through to box of items she had brought to the room earlier. She handed him the stapler and he stapled the updated calendar back into the wall, "Great! We finished cleaning!" She clapped her hands and flailed happily.
"Good work. That was fast," he smiled, "It's thanks to Nina for working so hard," he reached out and pet her her head, "Okay, it's time for a snack!"
"YAY!"
~~~
In this town, back at the house of Andrew's previous girlfriend, we were reunited. I have my memories as Hillary Simmons intact, and fell in love with him for a second time.
