"I'm sorry, I... I've changed my mind."
Changed her mind?
Who gave her the right to change her mind? On what grounds could she change it?
"No way!"
"You..." She was at a loss for words, her heart filled with anger and pain, she shouted hoarsely, "You're always like this, why?!"
Why must she stay? He wants someone else, not her. She doesn't want to be a puppet for others, nor a substitute.
She is Vera Wave, she wants him to love her, love Vera, love this real woman, not some six-year "ONLYONG"!
Kris Cooper lifted his foot, stepping onto the last step separating them.

Raising her eyes to meet his, Vera's heart suddenly filled with panic.
Her palm tightened as his large hand had already grasped her small hand, curled together.
"Vera, come back with me, please?"
Those words, so gentle, even with a hint of pleading.
Her heart suddenly ached with pain.
