I Left With Nothing
When I was done picking up, my bangs were clinging to the sides of my head, and I looked whiter than a ghost.
The worn-out look disgusted Joseph. "You're a shadow of yourself."
Yes, of course I was. His weak heart tormented me. I was no longer the healthy woman I was. "That enough?"
I was exhausted. Now, I just wanted to end this and leave in peace. Joseph waved me off dismissively. God, that was what I needed.
However, before I left his house, he said, "Teresa and I are getting married next week. Come to the wedding."
