He pressed his thin lips into a straight line, quietly watching her.
"Jeffrey, I… I don't want to think about you anymore. From now on, I won't think about you every single day…" Her words tumbled out, as if the alcohol in her veins gave her the courage to finally release everything she had buried for so long.
"So it turns out… not loving someone is such an easy thing for you."
"You know, between us… who really betrayed whom?"
"Today… I should thank you… for saving me… and for paying the bill… but… I have nothing to repay you with…"
"Well, that's not entirely true. I can repay you in one way… by not bothering you anymore. Don't worry, I'm not the type to cling on."
She rambled on, unaware that every word she spoke pierced him like a knife.
A suffocating weight pressed against Jeffrey's chest, making it harder and harder to breathe.
They had clearly broken up.
