- “Protecting me?” I scoffed, barely
- suppressing my urge to throw my drink in his
- face.
- Was he dreaming?
- Jesse didn’t answer my question. He leaned
- in, whispering, “I knew you’d come. I wanted
- to…”
- He hesitated.
- I was curious about his first sentence.
- He knew I’d come.
- He was involved in this celebration.
- Seeing his hesitation, I asked, “Jesse, do you
- want to go back to the past?”
- His eyes lit up with anticipation.
- く
- I smiled, then threw my drink in his face.
- Jesse’s reputation would plummet. He’d lose
- clients.
- But what did his losses matter to me?
- I said coldly, “You don’t miss me; you miss
- the sparkling you in my eyes.”
- I put down my glass and wiped my fingers.
- “Stop disgusting me, Jesse.”
- I turned to leave. Sam followed.
- Passing Jesse, he threw his drink in his face.
- “Since you have so many other options, don’t
- expect a pearl,” he added.
- Jesse said nothing,
- Standing there,
- Like a wet dog.
- Sam took me for a drive. I raised my arms,
- embracing the night, a new me.
- Night is not the source of pain.
- It’s the people who refuse to see themselves
- clearly.
