Five
I get into the taxi, preparing myself mentally to face Mark.
“Are you okay, miss?” the driver asks through the rearview mirror.
“Yes… yes… thank you,” I fake a tired smile.
“Heart problems, huh?”
“I… no… it’s nothing.”
“Don’t worry. When the heart gets heavy because the merchandise isn’t good, it throws it away itself. When the bad goes out, the good stays, right?”
I smile at the sarcastic explanation from the bald driver with a huge mustache, who has no idea who I am or where I came from.
