After My Boyfriend Postponed Marking Me Seven Times, I Gave Up
Before that, Susan didn't want to eat, and Caleb had to coax her to eat—Seven failed markings, seven excuses to run to Susan, seven times to abandon me without hesitation.
I gave him seven chances, but he didn't have the time to mark me.
The last time when Caleb left me, my heart got used to it. I was not as sad as I was the last seven times.
Maybe I had long been accustomed to being abandoned alone, or perhaps I had long expected his departure.
