| looked at him and fell silent for a very long tbefore saying mildly, "Theo, just take it as though we lost
control because we were drunk last night. From now on-"
"From now on, we'll each go our separate ways?"
He cutoff again, and the gentleness in his voice was gone. It was now cold and harsh.
"Am | a beast, Wanda? Why do you want to stay away fromthat much?"
| pursed my lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a long time, | said, "I just want to live the life | want. It's not that you're not good, but we don’t belong
together. We should live our own lives."
"Bullshit!" He was furious. "What do you mean we don’t belong together? Why don't we belong together?"
| lowered my gaze, afraid to look into his eyes." Because neither of us will be happy together, so | want to search
for a life of my own and not continue to get entangled with you."

tasks to do today, Ms. Lane. It's going to be a little hard for you."
I nodded with a smile. "I'll take care of them as soon a s | can."
When Gaily left, | saw Jordan staring atand could not stand it anymore. | asked, "Do you have anything you
needto do, Mr. Fredericks?"
"You didn't go hlast night. Where did you go?" he asked in a deep voice.

few more drinks with him. We stayed up all night because we forgot about the time."
