I did not sleep all night.In the morning, Audrey walked in with breakfast prepared.“Mr. Moore, you should eat something.” She placed the food on the bedside table.“Thanks.” I took it, but I had no appetite.I looked at her and finally asked the question that had been nagging at me, “Miss Swanson, we’ve never met.

Her voice was hoarse.My heart felt like it had been torn open and was bleeding.I lifted my head. My gaze cut through the crowd until it landed on Jasmine, who was standing not far away.She was still holding that black umbrella. Rain soaked the hem of her pants, but she did not seem to notice.She just stood there, quietly watching us.There was no expression on her face, but her eyes were filled with so many mixed emotions that

    After hanging up the phone, I turned sharply to Jasmine.My voice trembled as I spoke. "Jasmine, did you have someone smash the stall my mom set up?"I know you're still angry at me."I looked up and clearly saw the way her eyes shifted away.At that moment, time seemed to rewind to that rainy night ten years ago.Back then, I was just a carefree teenager.My biggest worry was figuring out how to hide my awkward crush on Jasmine.She was the older sister of my best friend, Jayden.On my eighteenth birthday, we skipped school and went to a bar…That day became the nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life.Jayden saw a group of thugs trying to assault a girl.

I walked over. My voice was slightly hoarse.She looked up, forcing a smile onto her wrinkled face. "Sebastian, you're back. Look, I fixed this old treasure!"I was thinking we could set up a stall at the night market, mending clothes and doing some alterations.
