Finland did not answer. She did not want Jean to know that the man had taken the immortality potion that was supposed to be for Finland, but she also did not want to lie to him.
"You will like Aleksis... I named her after my father, Aleksis Makela. You searched for my father for years and then found his tracks in Colmar." Finally, Finland diverted the conversation to the purpose of their departure to Colmar. "You have always been very kind to me. Since you moved to Paris, you spent a lot of time looking for my father... as my birthday present 3 years ago, you took me to Colmar to see his grave..."
"Is that true?"
"We will meet Uncle Etienne... and you can hear from him yourself..."
Finally, the question that had been in Jean's mind for so long was answered. He had been wondering for the past few years why he often went to Colmar, and why he was there before he was shot.
Apparently he was looking for his best friend's father, and finally found his grave...
He took a deep look at Finland. Now he was truly convinced that this girl used to be very important to him, that he was willing to go great lengths to look for her father's trace.
Because they arrived at Colmar when it was almost dark, they went straight to the hotel in the middle of the old city and checked in. Finland invited Jean to dinner at a restaurant near the hotel before they took a rest.
"Let's meet in the hotel lobby at 6 pm. We'll find dinner nearby. There's a good restaurant we can go to." Finland said before they separated into their respective rooms.
"Very well."
When Finland came down to the lobby at 6 pm for dinner, she found Jean waiting for her in the lobby, but she barely recognized the man. Jean covered half of his face with a thick wool scarf and he also wore a hat and glasses.
"Why are you dressed up like this?" Finland asked in amazement. "I thought you were someone else ..."
Jean chuckled and shrugged. "People can easily recognize me now. I need my privacy..."
"Oh..." Finland shook her head. She remembered that Jean had long wanted to be famous. But now that he was actually famous, he had to compromise to maintain his privacy, so he had to hide himself in such a way.
"Aside from avoiding gossip, I also don't want to invite stalkers or mentally ill fans... You will be horrified when you hear the hear stories of my stalking fans who have been bothering me all this time..."
"Okay, I understand."
They walked together to the restaurant and enjoyed their dinner with a glass of Finland's favorite glow wine. Everything felt like a movie being played back for Finland. In the past, they had dinner several times in this restaurant, too. Too bad Jean was unable to remember anything from their previous trip to Colmar.
"Thank you for taking me to Colmar. You should rest... tomorrow we will visit Uncle Etienne in the village. He is my father's friend whom you met several times when you came to Colmar. He must be happy to see you again."
"All right. You rest too, see you in the morning," Jean replied.
Finland talked to Lauriel on the phone in the lobby for a few minutes to ask how he and Aleksis were doing before she went up to her room. She was delighted to hear the voices of the two who had just sailed and were now resting in the remote tribal village in Belem. She really missed Aleksis.
"Alright, you must be a good girl and don't trouble Uncle Rory too much, okay... I love you, Aleksis."
"I love you, Mum."
Finland put down her phone and then took a shower to freshen up before going to sleep. Since meeting Jean, her sad heart slowly began to heal, and she had begun to smile.
After completing her business in Singapore, she would be ready to meet Caspar in Scotland. She hoped the misunderstandings between them could be resolved soon and they could get back together.
With thoughts filled with hope, Finland could finally sleep peacefully.
She woke up to the touch of a soft hand caressing her face gently. When she opened her eyes, Finland saw a face that she had been longing for so long, staring at her from above. Those pair of bright blue eyes looked so sad.
"Cas... Caspar?"
No answer.
Finland touched Caspar's hand that just touched her face and held it tight.
This must be a dream because she drank too much glow wine tonight. Finland closed her eyes again, and this time, she slept with a smile on her lips.
Caspar sighed very softly, and after making sure that Finland was really asleep, he carefully let go of her hand. He then stood there, staring at the girl he never stopped loving as his body froze in place. He tried hard to resist the urge to touch her again. Earlier he almost woke her up.
When dawn came, he quickly slipped out of her room and disappeared.
