Holding on to Hope Read online

  Leslie had hardly gotten any sleep the previous night, mainly because she had so many thoughts running through her mind. Not to mention, she had seen two people getting killed in front of her. So sleep didn’t come to her easily at all.

  That was the reason she had wanted to have her memory wiped out.

  But the reason she thought against it was because of the two boys sitting in the coffee shop right then. She stayed out, watching the two of them through the shop’s glass window. Both of them had these happy smiles on their faces, and it gave her a fluttery feeling in her heart. She was reminded of that moment when she had seen Pat for the first time. And it was heavenly.

  If she’d had no memories of the past two days, she wouldn’t have come to know of a guy who loved her best friend more than anyone ever could. And Ronan would have disappeared into oblivion by then.

  She realized that those two were meant to be together; Ronan was the perfect guy for Brad.

  She watched through the window as Brad looked at Ronan’s pink lips with hunger, and she knew what was coming. She smiled pleasantly when Ronan leaned in to place a soft kiss on Brad’s lips. She suddenly wished she had her phone to capture the sweet moment with her camera.

  Leslie had no doubt, at that moment, that she had made the right call.

  About the Author

  SID LOVE grew up in one of busiest cities in the world, Mumbai, listening to the excerpts of Indian epics from his father every night. While it served as an inspiration back in time, he has always had an ambitious mind. In 2007, when he had just turned sixteen, he decided that he would make his lifelong dream come true—to become a well-known, respected author someday.

  Ask him and he would refuse to accept that he is obsessed with books. Or movies. Or TV shows. Addicted may even be the right word. He is a die-hard fan of Jane Austen's romance novels and loves to reread them time and again.
