He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were   36   her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. In order not to appear   37  , she went along.

　　My dearest, please   49   my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of   50  .

　　It was hard for me to ask for a   51  , so I just went ahead. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would   52   everything.

Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it   53   so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you   54   me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again,   55   it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.
