And then, without looking back, he said, “It’s not about someone else. It’s about who I am now.” And then he walked out.

“He texted. I didn’t reply.” “What? Why not? Dammit woman!” I shrugged. “It’s just not right. I need to focus on me. I don’t need the distraction.” She groaned. “Focus on you? Seriously?” “Yes. Why is that so hard to believe?” “Because you have been focusing on you for thirty-something years. You know you. You don’t need to focus on you anymore. You got you. It’s time to start thinking about you with someone else.” I shrugged, pretending interest in Christmas decorations. “It’s too much work.”

Wyatt winced as he pricked himself again with the razor. He blew out a breath, concentrating as he guided the blade around his jaw. “You’re just going to keep her company, dude, cheer her up, that’s all… This is not a date. And you’re definitely not having a fling.”

"How do you never feel embarrassed saying stuff like that?" Just as Kendrick was about to make another move, a cheerful voice interrupted, "I say, you two have a four- or five-year-old kid, yet you’re still so sweet with each other. Isn’t it said that love only lasts seven days? What’s your secret? You have to share it with us!"

“You got jealous this Adrianna girl was all over him?” She was laughing. Hard. Way too hard for someone who was supposed to comfort me. I rolled my eyes. “Hilarious, truly. And I was not jealous. We don’t have anything. We don’t even have a relationship.” Leah snorted. “Right. Keep telling yourself that.” I wrapped my hands around my mug, taking a sip of my tea to avoid responding. The café hummed around us—chairs scraping, coffee machines hissing, cutlery clinking.

"Kallie gave me blood once, okay? She kinda saved my life. "It's just her birthday—what's the big deal? So I skipped getting the license today. You're seriously mad about that?" Mad? Over that? I let out a dry laugh. So to him, our marriage license was just a footnote. Less important than a random birthday. Maybe I loved too quietly all these years. Maybe that's why he thought everything should revolve around him. But I was done. I didn't need a love that made me feel invisible. When I didn't answer, he stepped in, arms sliding around my waist, voice soft.

"Just shut up and don't have to interfere with my business too much, you idiot!" "I'm not being stupid, I just feel sorry for you. How could you just let him go? Come on, everyone knows that you really, really like him. Instead of you always being like this, you better take the initiative first. I'm just sorry to see your gloomy face because of the closeness of the two of them. Don't you realize that your current face looks like a face that hasn't been fed for a year?

It’s cliché, but it applies to everything. “You think the time you spend with me is enough for you to say that? Do you think that I don’t try to will myself into doing things on my own? I am not the one you need. Because you, you are my world. But let me correct myself. I am not obsessed with you. You just don’t know what it feels like to be alone.”

I was making my way home, rushing to make some dinner for myself. Yeah, this is just a simple routine that I do daily. I know, it's a boring, pointless life. I've been like this since I was ten. Don't ask me why because life is never been too good for me. I even forgot someone important to me, and the promise we made for each other. *BEEP SHHH Inattentive, I suddenly saw a car's light flash through my life while I was running in the crossing lane---
