Chapter 2
When I returned to the apartment I shared with Jason, the first thing I saw was the wedding dress I had bought, lying in a heap on the couch
1 hadn’t come back here in days, thinking that avoiding it would malce all the pain go away.
As I looked around the apartment, realized, too late, that Jason hadn’t returned either.
of course, now that he and Grace had confirmed their relationship, they must have moved into a new place.
I packed the wedding dress into a bag and began collecting my things
There were many things I could take, after all, this place held seven years of memories |
Except for the things he had bought for me, I took everything that belonged to me.||
When I finished, the room was almost half empty |
I took one last look at the place and then, without hesitation, shut the door and left

He didn’t ask for my cutsent and immediately downed six shots in one go.]
Since we were the last to arrive, the two remaining empty seats were next to each other, so we sat down together.
During the meal, he didn’t speak to me again, as if his earlier gesture was just out of politeness.
I reached for a shrimp 1 liked, but the table had already been spun []
Trustrated at

I looked at Ryan beide me, and he smiled at me.

I shook my head and quirdly ate the shrimp, wondering what his actions meant.]]
After a few more rounds of drinking, even though ve

People at the table began to leave one by one.
When I stood up to leave, Hyan grabbed my sleeve.]

“You’ve drunk too
“It’s a designated driver
With the window open and the cold wind blowing through, my mind began in tear up a bu.]]
I turned my head to look at Ryan. At that moment, his eyes were closed, his fingers massaging his temples.||
