"Lily listen to me now." 

I swallowed down as well, my vision blurred in agitation and for some instant, I forgot who he was and I felt like time never passed.

I understood what he was trying to say without even letting him continue. 

"They contacted me saying we could have the second meeting and if we still apply we can finally adopt."

Just like I had imagined. Time was playing me a bar trick. The memories of Carl and me together passed through my mind, I could see all the happy memories haunting my memory and giving me headaches. My heart sank in my chest. I focused on the bad aspects of our relationship forgetting how good it was.

Now I was left with confusion and miserably. How could I have forgotten the positive times I had shared in almost 7 years? And how could he ever forget those when he cheated on me?
