It was the fourth anniversary of our relationship. Heather Hilmann took her friend Liam Sherr and me went to have barbecue together. The waiter recognized them and smiled, asking, "Still the usuals?" Heather nodded. It was a table by the window for two, and Liam sat on the inside. The ribeye had slightly charred edges, and the dipping sauce had no onions. She gave the first piece and the last piece to Liam. I sat near the aisle, and there was not even a dipping‑sauce dish in front of me. When they paid the bill, the waiter checked the membership records and reminded them with a smile, "Ms. Hilmann and Mr. Sherr, tonight was your 100th visit. You can take your customized grill pan home." A line of words was engraved on the back of the grill pan: [Heather and Liam, Together Forever.] The date was three years ago. I then remembered that Heather had been at the hospital celebrating my birthday that day. It turned out that the two hours she had been away were not for a company meeting. Liam touched the engraving and asked her with a smile, "After you and Ian Jeffrey get married, will we still have our monthly get‑together?"

Goodbye to Our Four Years Together Chapter 10
Before the end of the tour, I finally met Heather.She sat in the closed barbecue restaurant.The double seats by the window were still there. The extra chair by the aisle had not been removed.There were three sets of cutlery on the table. My position still did not have a sauce dish.Heather stood up at once when she saw me.After not seeing her for a year, she had lost a lot of weight. The shirt that used to be always flat was wrinkled, and the old watch I gave her was still worn on her wrist."Have a seat." She pulled out the window seat for me.It used to be Liam’s seat. I did not sit on it."I received the pocket watch. Thank you."Heather muttered, "I did not fix it. The watch repairer searched for the part for a whole year. I am only returning it to you."She turned on the grill pan.The edges of the pork belly curled up slowly as the fat dripped into the charcoal, making a soft sizzling sound.After the first piece of meat was cooked, she placed it on my plate. "No

A year later, I returned to the country with my artworks to participate in an exhibition tour.On the day I landed, Liam stopped me outside the airport. He had lost a lot of weight. His once carefully styled hair was cut very short, and a faint scar marked his right wrist."Ian, I only need five minutes of your time." He handed me the 100th commemorative grill pan. The engraved words on the back had worn off, leaving only an ugly scratch."Heather stopped seeing me. The password for that house has been changed. She bought the barbecue restaurant we often went to and closed it down."I did not take the grill pan. "This has nothing to do with me."Liam’s eyes reddened as he looked away. "I know. I used to think you took her away from me. But later I realized she would have chosen me within those ten years if she truly loved me. She protected me only because it was her habit. Also because she believed you would never leave."He wiped his tears with his hand. "Ian, I really considere

Heather did not leave London. She rented an apartment near the college and delivered a sugar‑free soy latte every morning.On the first day, I had the doorman throw it away.On the second day, I returned it intact.Later, she no longer left a signature and only placed a thermos at the door. I still did not drink it.When winter arrived, the school held an annual artwork exhibition.I reassembled the broken piece into three sections, preserving all the cracks. In the center of the work was my father’s stopped pocket watch.I named it "Leaving".The judges asked me why I did not hide the cracks.I touched the sharp, broken edges. "Because once something is broken, it is broken. Covering it up does not mean it was never damaged."Leaving won the top prize that year.On the day of the award ceremony, Heather sat in the last row.When the applause started, she stood up too.I saw her eyes were red, but I did not approach her.After the event, she handed my tutor a folder. Insid

After arriving in London, Heather waited at the school gate for a whole day.It began to rain in the evening.I came out of the school building holding my restored artwork and saw her at once.She was not holding an umbrella, so her black coat was soaked, but she tightly held an old wooden box in her hand.It contained drafts from my father’s studio that had been soaked by the rain."Ian." She walked toward me, her voice awfully hoarse.I stopped."Why are you here?" My tone was so calm that it surprised even me.In the past, I suffered from insomnia for the whole night if I could not contact her for only a few hours. Now that she stood in front of me after traveling so far, I did not feel the slightest emotion.Heather handed me the wooden box. "I restored all the drafts that could be repaired. I also found the surveillance footage of Liam deliberately breaking the watch. The rear‑end accident has been re‑verified. He has been disqualified from the racing team, and his driver
