In the hospital, Liam had bandages
everywhere.
His assistant nervously stood nearby, giving
him an update.
Ever since his disastrous engagement party,
Liam had become even more erratic, his
temper unbearable.
The whole office was working overtime, trying
to track Jane’s every move.
“Ms. Jiang has… disappeared.”
“Avalanche, buried… not…”
Liam’s heart stopped his eyes unfocused
Г
Liam’s heart stopped, his eyes unfocused.
Before his assistant could finish, Liam threw
a cup against the wall.
“Bullshit! Get out!”
He went mad, ignoring his broken ribs, and
went to investigate himself.
The response was still the same. She was
gone.
News channels were reporting about a major
avalanche in Western Europe.
“She’s alright.” Liam said, shaking his head.
“She’s too smart to get herself killed. She
must be hiding somewhere.”
L
He was already preparing his private jet to go
to Europe, and bring her home.
But he was intercepted on his way out of the
hospital, and forcefully brought back to his
room.
Mrs. Miller had to tie him to the bed and
sedate him.
She’d never seen her son so deranged.
Liam had brought that girl home once, but
that girl didn’t come from a good background,
had too many issues and heavy baggage.
Mrs. Miller had seen plenty of girls like that in
her life, and didn’t want her son to go down
that path.

“Mom, please let me go to her.”
Liam pleaded, pale and weak on the bed.
She gave in, as long as he rested, she’d help
him find her.
The Millers used every single contact they
had, but nothing, only a journal and a
pregnancy report.
Jane was three months pregnant.
Liam’s eyes burned as he opened her journal.
Liam Miller:
You once said that lovers who see the
Northern Lights are destined to meet again.

Sadly, we didn’t get to see them together,
and now we’re separated.
I brought the baby to see it, the lights are
beautiful. If you were here, you would have
been amazed by the magic of nature.
Oh, and I’m pregnant. Even though you were
careful, this life still appeared, a sign that
we’re connected somehow?
I wanted to go back home and tell you about
the baby.
I wanted to use it to keep you close, as evil
as it sounds.
The news is saying you’re getting married to
Ashley, so I canceled my ticket. Everything I
experience, even a regular cloud, I wanted to
share it with you.
Before, I would never allow myself to think
this. I knew our differences, that’s why I never
stopped pushing, so I could be worthy of you.
The snow is taking us now, me and my baby
L
The snow is taking us now, me and my baby
might not make it out.
I guess we were never meant to be.
Liam sobbed, tears falling onto the page.
The last entry was from February 20th, their
ten year anniversary.
The last line of her journal was:
“Liam, I wish you happiness with your new
wife, and I hope you have a son soon.”
