Novel & Cerita Waiting To Exhale Book

What had I just done? I don’t know what changed but suddenly that pressure from weeks prior appeared again. My skin was beading with sweat. My heart slammed in my ribcage. Was I having a heart attack? I continued to hold on as the class was dismissed. I stayed still because I didn’t know what else to do. I suddenly wished for someone to give me strength. I had a glimpse of Sean for a second but that wasn’t it. I looked down into my open backpack and saw my book about wolves in there. Something about focusing on that book helped me breathe out.

It actually helped in calming my excited nerves.

The clock ticked somewhere in the walls, an underground metronome counting down to obligations and expectations. I had practiced breathing slow. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale again.

He exhales the way a man exhales when he has been holding his breath for a long time, the way a man exhales when the answer is the right one, the way a man exhales when the woman he is dating has just said the thing he was hoping she would say, except he was not going to say it, because it had to be her answer, and her answer was the right one, and he is exhaling because the right one is the one he needed.

"You probably want to use the money to make Bruno cut ties with me! But I'm telling you right now—dream on!" At her words, I paused for a moment. Why would anyone still like such a despicable man? No wonder people online say jerks and gold-diggers were made for each other. Well, I had no desire to waste any more time with someone like her. Thankfully, the race was over.

In the past, no matter how late he came home, there was always a light waiting for him. There was always someone sitting on the couch, quietly waiting for him. That was all gone. The big house felt empty, and he was the only one left waiting for daylight. The next morning, Matthew did not bother to change his clothes. He went straight to the office.

So, I just picked it up as I turn the pages of the book and suddenly, I find someone's shadow in the book. I quickly rush outside the hall and wait for Asher to come out of the hall. I don't know in which place he is in and it's taking quite a lot of time for him. I clutch the book against my chest and wait for him at there.
