It was early in December in a cold night when Merida arrived at the address she saw at the back of that glittery notebook. She stared at the tall building while rubbing her hands together before even going inside.

At the information area of that hospital, she asked what floor the room 307 was. The nurse had asked her few more questions before giving her the floor for security reasons. 

Inside the elevator, she couldn't help but feel so nervous. It has only been few days since she read and realized how Leo was really feeling. What if she sees Leo? What will happen between her and Jacob? What will she tell Leo? How do she react?

When the elevator door opened, her heart did some somersaults and she swallow hard. Getting off and walking towards the door of room 307 feels like there were concretes stuck on her feet. Taking a step seemed to be so heavy.

Finally, in front of the door she calmed herself down. She breath in and out. As she lifted her hand to knock on the door the painful memories started flashing and halfway she stopped.

"The patient isn't inside his room right now." That made her glance at the side where she saw a nurse. "If you want to see him, he's at the rooftop. He said he wanted to see the meteor shower... alone."

Merida back to herself cleared her throat and nodded at the nurse. "I see," she whispered looking down for a moment. "Thank you for informing me."

Now that she can breath, she immediately went back inside the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. She knew it! It was a bad idea! 

As she was going down she couldn't help but nibble on her bottom lip. Everytime she remembers how she treated Leo, the guilt would always make its way inside her head that makes her cry. 

Almost at the ground floor, longing suddenly crept into her heart. It made her immediately press the uppermost floor button without any more doubts.

"I have to see him," she cries, walking in circles and feeling restless.

At the top floor she rushed out and hurried up the rooftop with the stairs. She flung the door open and like a crazy teenager girl searched for him. Near the rail at the center, she saw a figure of a guy just gazing up at the night sky full of stars.

Getting near him feels heavier than usual. The way Leo she remembered was so approachable but right now, he wasn't. The emotions inside her chest were banging to come out. Tears are falling as she takes her every step to him, he was blurry. 

Once more step and she stopped. What was she supposed to say now that she can finally reach him? I need to gaze at those eyes again to calm my emotions, she thought. It's so painful.

"Leo..." she softly called, sniffing as her tears still flows down. 

The moment he turned around, all her emotions fell and broke down. She was stuck at that moment as the man in front of her smiled. 

"I knew you'd come, Love."
