Chapter 7

Author: Morning Snow
I thought Justin would give up after I gave it to him straight, but he didn't, even renting a place near mine.

He even found out where I worked and waited for me to get off work every day, walking beside me.

"You're late," he said with concern he had never shown before. "Working overtime?"

Then, pointing at a car nearby, he said, "It's too cold to walk. I'll take you home."

I didn't answer and got into Yannick's car instead as Justin watched, while telling Yannick, "I'm going to have to trou

    I thought Justin would give up after I gave it to him straight, but he didn't, even renting a place near mine.He even found out where I worked and waited for me to get off work every day, walking beside me."You're late," he said with concern he had never shown before. "Working overtime?"Then, pointing at a car nearby, he said, "It's too cold to walk. I'll take you home."I didn't answer and got into Yannick's car instead as Justin watched, while telling Yannick, "I'm going to have to trouble you for a while.""It's fine. I'm doing this willingly." He grinned.-Whether it was the freezing winter climate or Justin's presence bothering me too much, I woke up the next day feeling like I was hurting all over.Seeing a shockingly high body temperature in my next reading, I took a couple of pills despite being dazed and applied for a couple of days off from work.It was afternoon by the time I was woken up by my vibrating phone, having received over a dozen missed calls and messa

    Yannick slid a plate of paella to me, smiling. "Try it."I was surprised by the rich taste and held a thumbs-up. "It's a treat."Yannick smiled upon seeing that reaction. "The food here suits the tastes of Borondians. That's why I come here often."I met Yannick on my second day in New Ingram, when I got lost and couldn't find my way home.As the skies darkened, I had no choice but to ask for help.Eventually, we grew closer, and I learned that he had emigrated to New Ingram with his parents as a child.When I complained about not being used to the food here, he offered to bring me to this place.Hence, my stomach finally found good food after days of suffering.We took a stroll after to help with digestion, and I couldn't resist reaching out to catch the falling snow.Winters were short in the city I had lived in before, so snow was a rare sight for me.That was when Yannick placed something in my palm. It was a tiny bird character plush toy with a hat and a sword.He then

    I was more adaptable than I imagined, quickly contacting and finishing negotiations with a landlord and then picking up all the daily necessities I would need.Having a place to rest in this unfamiliar city, I managed to get over the jet lag after a week in New Ingram.And with Justin disappearing from my life, everything was getting back on track.Still, the snow had blocked the route to work, and my supervisor said we could work from home.I made myself a glass of warm cocoa while I waited for a video call, and that was when my phone lit up with a message.It was a colleague, telling me that she had received a call from Justin today, asking if I was at the office.I laughed—it had taken him that long to finally remember me.I wondered what the look on his face was when he realized I had left for New Ingram…That was when I got a call from a number from back home, and I answered, "Hello? Who's this?""It's me," Justin's voice replied from the other end."What is it?" I asked

    As Justin opened the door and noticed that the slippers Melissa usually wore were gone, he chuckled—so she understood her mistake now.Hence, he called out into the house, "Melissa?"However, there was only silence, until Zoe stepped out. "Hey, Justin."Justin frowned upon seeing Zoe wearing Melissa's slippers just then.It stung his eyes to see that."Mine got wet," Zoe explained softly when she noticed the direction in which he was looking. "So I took these…""Change out of them," Justin growled and whipped out his phone to call Melissa.However, he only got static beeping no matter how many times he tried, and his brow creased further.Melissa had never misbehaved this badly before…Still, it then occurred to him that he could call her colleagues.So he did, only to be told that Melissa had left for New Ingram."New Ingram?" he blurted, stunned. "She never told me that."The colleague sounded sympathetic. "It's a three-year project. If you're fighting, you'd better resol

    I was packing in the living room when I heard the door open, and I saw Justin leading Zoe inside.He took a new pair of slippers from the shoe rack and passed them to Zoe. "Here, put them on."They were new ones I had bought for myself, and I didn't even have time to unwrap them.When I had first shown them to Justin, he scoffed at how childish they were.And now, he handed them over to Zoe like it was only natural.He then placed a box of apple pies in front of me. "Zoe's moving out and has no place to go, so she's staying with us for a couple of days."I stared at the box—I loved those to death, but now, even the sweet scent only made me sick."If that's what you want," I replied nonetheless.Justin was taken aback, as if he didn't expect me to be so cooperative.Then, seeing the wedding photo album on the coffee table, he chuckled. "I guess you're maturing since you're going to be Mrs. Fox soon, huh? There's time until we get married anyway—we can find time to take photos."

    When I returned home, I went to the study to pick up an open notebook with details on Zoe's lawsuit.Justin had just texted me to bring a file to his office, and I found it in his drawer.Suddenly, I noticed a box sitting at a corner—the pink butterfly print definitely didn't suit Justin's preferences.I opened it and almost choked upon seeing what was inside—it contained a full stack of photos, all featuring Justin and Zoe.Justin and I had been dating for three years, but we barely took any photos together.He always told me that he hated taking photos and would growl coolly when I begged, "Grow up."But now, seeing that he still kept his photos with Zoe, I understood that it wasn't as if he disliked taking photos.He just disliked taking photos with me.One of them even featured Zoe in a white bridal gown, holding hands and beaming with Justin.There was a line in Justin's own handwriting behind the photo: 'Let's just pretend we got married.'I felt like I had a hole punch
