Chapter 22- Dinner with Miguel
"I recognize that expression. "What are your plans?" Aria can't help but remark her thoughts.
Perez notices her critical expression. In answer, he simply smiles.
"OK, I need to go, chat with you guys later," Aria remarked as she dashed out the door to meet Miguel for supper.
"You should video call me later!" Alternatively, send me your photo!" Page did what he asked.
Perez can't help but sympathize with his younger brother. He notices Aria is just being kind to Page because Aria told him Page was her younger brother in a previous life.
Perez has no recollection of his previous existence. He can, however, discern links between people's prior lives.
He works for a unique organization. He was aware of Aria's talent and combat prowess.
But he does not want to compel her to join the group.
He is aware that Aria was significant to him in a previous life. He does not want her to be in danger.
In the past, Aria was more like a close friend or sibling to him than a lover.
He did attempt to question Aria about it. Aria simply responds to him.
"There's a reason why recollections of a previous existence are better guarded. "It's more of a curse than a blessing," Aria replied, a sad expression on her face.
As a result, he did not inquire more. He simply trusts Aria with his life and the lives of his three younger siblings.
"I hope he can just outgrow his feelings for her," Perez can't help but think.

Miguel was dealing with a situation that he never expected to face in his twenties.
Many clothes were scattered in his bedroom.
It was evident that Miguel was having difficulty deciding what to wear to dinner.
As he looked at the clock in the room, he noticed it was already two hours before the time they had agreed upon.
He can't help but notice that his hair has grown longer and that he needs to get it cut again.
His hair was purple, and his eyes were purple as well.
His features were frequently misinterpreted by others as those of a wonderful guy friend by the majority of his buddies.
Most of the time, he was polite and personable.
Aria was the only one who knew about another side of him that he kept hidden as the reason he was too busy.
Aria only knows about it since she can see other people's former lives as long as they are connected to her.
Because of the varied environment in which they grew up, they will be a little different. However, the same propensity exists in all lives.
If someone has talent in the arts, that individual will also be talented in the arts.
If a person like cooking in the past, he or she will enjoy cooking in the future.
Of course, they differ as well. If he was a chef in a previous incarnation, it does not follow that he will choose to be a chef again in this life. The love of cooking, however, will not fade.
Miguel spent the majority of his previous life as a Military Doctor. So Aria already knows in this incarnation that Miguel is associated with the military or the government.
Miguel's genial appearance conceals a violent side. He was harsh toward his adversaries.
Finally, Miguel settled on a plain orange T-shirt paired with denim jeans.
He rode toward the restaurant where Aria had arranged a reservation and had sent him earlier.
When he arrived, a waiter directed him to the table Aria had reserved.
He didn't have to wait long before spotting Aria dressed as a rockstar.
Miguel can't help but notice Aria, who is dressed coolly in a black jacket and black high boots.
"Hi Miggie, I apologize for being late. "How long did you have to wait for me?" Aria said as she sat across from Miguel.
"No, I just got here." "How did you spend your day?" Miguel inquired since he was at a loss as to how to strike up a discussion with Aria.
"It was fantastic. I'm working on two new projects. And get to know some of my friends. "Has your sister caused you any problems?" Aria inquired.
He was aware that his twin sister was a problem. She forgets that she has yet to meet the twins in this incarnation.
But she pretended that she knew the two girls and Miguel as well.
Miguel's embarrassment distracted him from the question.
They were discussing Miguel's sisters. That led Miguel to believe he was in a dream or that his memories were playing tricks on him.
At the moment, he was certain Aria knew him well. Not only him but his entire family.
Regardless of how strange he thought it, he simply accepts it as a reality that Aria knows him so well.
"Miggie, you need to be careful, I heard the darkins are active lately," Aria cautioned Miguel.
"I know, don't worry," Miguel responded with a smile.
