The End of the Seven-Year Love
“Hello, is this Ms. Anderson? I’m calling from Cloud Rehabilitation Center, and we’ve received your inquiry. When will you be checking in?”
His familiar tone reminded me of an ex that I had dumped.
While I was deep in thought, Jeremy woke up. He looked at me with teary eyes.
“You’re finally awake! You’ve been unconscious for the past two days.
“Don’t you know if something happens to you… I’ll join you in the afterlife?”
Anyone would be touched by those words.
In the past, I would have been touched as well. Instead, I only found it ironic.
He carefully put a band-aid on the back of my hand where the IV needle was. He was extremely gentle, just like he was in the past.
