Please give me one more chance..." "It's too late." I looked at him calmly. "Lucas, when you toyed with a sincere heart, you should have known this day would come."

I let out a shaky laugh, dragging a hand through my hair as I turn slightly, like I don't know where to look at. Damn it. I press my lips together, trying to hold it in. I don’t cry.

She glanced at me, then lowered her head and reached for another bite. Before taking it, she looked up at me again. "You're not angry?" I took another bite and answered calmly, "I'm not."
