 "Oh Goodness, that means you are in love with her ". Charles replied. Just try and make things up as you have said. 

 "Don't mess things up with her again. At times you won't value what you have until you lost it. But man I'm happy you ate your cake and will still have it back. "Charles teased and continued. "Well I wasn't lucky as much as you, remember I was deeply in love with Hannah, not until Susan came into picture. Then I started acting strange towards Hannah, she complained she cried and even begged me to forgive her if she ever did anything wrong, but I was so in lust with Susan and I wasn't ready to amend my ways. And before I came back to my senses, Hannah has gotten over me and she left my life. She's living her best life. I now realized I do really loved her. I begged her to come back but she refused and cut off all communication with me. I even broke up with Susan but Hannah never came back to me ". He concluded.
