The Ghost of a Love Story Chapter 2

I only realized Ethan and I had been trending all night when my agent, Jenna, called to wake me up.

We were still trending at the top.

I clicked on the viral video and was caught off guard by my ten-years-younger self.

It took me a long time to dig out that memory from the dusty corners of my mind.

It was the first year after graduation. I accompanied Ethan to Los Angeles while he chased his acting dreams.

He acted; I worked odd jobs.

While working, I met a man who claimed to be filming a documentary and asked if I was interested in being on camera.

Of course, I wasn't.

But he acted like he didn't hear me and kept following me around. I couldn't get rid of him.

Since he just stood aside holding his camera and didn't interfere with my work, I eventually stopped caring and let him do whatever he wanted.

Jenna asked if I needed to contact the platform to handle it.

I thought for a moment and shook my head.

"No need. It's free publicity."

I scrolled through the comments curiously, expecting them to curse me like they did five years ago, calling me a maggot in a cesspool.

Unexpectedly, the comments were heading in a strange direction.

[Help, can I say this? Why do I feel like I ship them?]

[You're not alone.]

[It's weird, but hard not to ship, right? Did you see the look in Maya's eyes?]

[Same. I haven't seen such pure, love-filled eyes in a long time. It reminds me of the days before I became cynical.]

[Maya worked three jobs a day for Ethan back then! Oh my god, I used to curse her! Now... sigh, I don't know what to say.]

[Regardless of the ending, true love is rare.]

Out of curiosity, I clicked on the video again.

I wanted to see what kind of earth-shattering look and behavior I had back then that could make them flip their attitude 180 degrees compared to five years ago.

Spanning ten years.

Under the erosion and destruction of time, my memory of the past wasn't very clear.

But as they said, in the video, twenty-three-year-old Maya's unconcealed love for Ethan was indeed so passionate that it was hard not to be moved.
