"You..." Nathan Leafcastle took a deep breath, "What are you planning to do?"
"I..." Sally Dalton lowered her gaze, "I haven't decided yet, maybe... just... get rid of it?"
Before, she had always been trying hard to keep him, to keep him by her side.
After all these events, Sally realized that doing so was meaningless, just like Irene Spencer, who loved Kris Cooper for so many years, loved him to the point of madness, but in the end, it only hurt the other person.
If her love was a shackle to him, she would rather give him freedom.
Nathan's eyes dimmed a bit, and he spoke softly.
"These past few days... thank you for taking care of me so much."
"It's nothing!" Sally took a deep breath, her tone sounding very casual and normal, "Anyway, we're friends, it's... what's expected." She offered the cup again, "Have a drink and rest for a bit."
Nathan took a couple of sips from the cup she offered. His eyes fell on her pale face, and he spoke softly.
