Chapter 5

Author: Slowtimes
"Hannah, no matter how desperate you are to get married, you can’t resort to forcing it."

"Do you think buying a wedding dress will make Nathan marry you?"

"He promised long ago that he’d only ever marry me. Stop dreaming."

On the drive, I glanced at the texts from Nina. Her words left me feeling drained. I circled Brookshire for hours, driving aimlessly. By the time I got home, it was past midnight, and the chilly autumn air had seeped into my bones.

To my surprise, the house was brightly lit when I opened the door.

Nathan was sitting on the couch. He stood and walked toward me. “Why are you back so late?”

“I went for a drive.”

I was leaving soon. I wanted one last look at the city where I’d spent so many years of my life.

He nodded, reaching out to pull me into his arms, but I instinctively stepped back.

His brows furrowed slightly. “Still upset?”

“I might’ve been too harsh earlier. If you don’t want to work, you don’t have to, okay?” He softened his tone. “As long as you’r

    I focused on the key detail. “When exactly was your college reunion?” “Earlier this month, I think it was the 6th,” Sarah replied. “…” Grandpa had brought up the idea of a marriage alliance with the Hendersons on the 8th. The timing was just too coincidental. Seeing my distracted look, Sarah nudged my arm. “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” “Sarah,” I hesitated, then asked in disbelief, “Are you saying Davis liked me for a while and asked you for information about me?” “What else could it be? Do you think he just randomly decided to ask about you for no reason?” “…” The whole day, my heart wouldn’t stop racing. I couldn’t help but think back to what Davis had admitted in the car a few days ago—that he liked someone. My emotions were in turmoil: surprise, confusion, disbelief, and even… a tiny spark of happiness. Happiness that my future husband liked me so much. That night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Just past

    Nina couldn't believe her ears."She's marrying someone else, and you're giving her such an expensive gift?

"Now she's misunderstood everything about us. Are you happy?""No, I didn't..."Nina scrambled for excuses. "I really didn't send them! Wait, I remember now! One day Hannah said you needed me, so I went to your office. I left my phone outside.""Maybe that's when Hannah looked through my...

    The color drained from his face with each screenshot he saw.Each message was like a slap across his face.He couldn't speak.His eyes were red with emotion.I felt nothing, just held out my hand emotionlessly. "Did you bring the pendant? Linda said you wouldn't give it to her."Then, before he could make excuses, I added, "If not, you can FedEx it to me when you get back to Brookshire.""Hannah..." His voice was hoarse, looking at me almost pleadingly. "Can't you give me one more chance? Just one.""Nathan."I blinked. "In relationships, you only get one chance at trust."Just one chance for complete trust.Once that trust breaks, even if you try to piece it back together, all that's left are doubts and suspicion.Over time, you only grow to resent each other more.That kind of life was never an option for me.Nathan's trembling fingers twitched before he finally handed over the pendant.I took it without hesitation.The moment I did, all strength seemed to leave him.

    ”Suit yourself.”I hung up and found Davis offering me a candied apple.They were my favorite in middle school. I used to buy one every day after class, happily eating it on my way home.These past years, trying so hard to be an adult, I'd stopped buying such childish treats.And no one had bought them for me either.I thanked him, but before I could take a bite, he cautioned: "The fruit's quite tart. With your stomach condition, just have a little to satisfy the craving."I paused, surprised. "How did you know about my stomach?"Even my mother only found out yesterday.Davis replied quietly, "The broth you drink - all the ingredients are for stomach healing.""..."I was taken aback.At dinner, he'd seemed focused only on eating.Yet he'd noticed such details.I took a bite of the apple. "You're quite observant."“I’m all right,” Davis nodded, not bothering with modesty.I worried he might ask about the phone call, but he didn't mention it all evening, even when he drove
