Valentine Teller and Turstin Muller's wedding is drawing nearer.
This weekend, in fact.
Once you've made a decision, don't change it on a whim.
She believed she could forget Mark Reed and fall in love with Turstin Muller.
Valentine Teller returned to her rented apartment that night. As she prepared for bed after showering, her phone rang. Any unknown number now made her nervous because it was likely Mark Reed calling.
And sure enough, when she answered, there was that familiar voice. He was still in Upsea and wouldn't be back in Rivile City until the day after tomorrow.
Whatever he said, she just listened, not saying a word herself.
In truth, listening to his voice was a kind of enjoyment.
For now, she allowed herself this small pleasure, but afterward, she would no longer have any contact with him.
Finally, he hung up. She turned off the lights and went to bed, but lay awake.
