That year, it was the first time she heard someone say those words.
That year, she discovered that there really was someone in this world who truly cared for her.
Instead of constantly demanding her to be sensible, tolerant, and yielding.
Tears flowed like a breached dam, unstoppable.
She leaned into his arms.
For the first time, she allowed herself to be vulnerable.
At that time, Curtis was like a burning flame, fervent and dazzling.
Warm enough that she couldn't help but want to get close.
At that time, she thought that as long as she quietly stayed by his side.
They could have their own warm moments.
But now, he stood in front of her, expression cold and tone distant.
He spoke indifferently.
"You've always been sensible and easygoing, unlike her."
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart unguardedly.
The last bit of resolve in her heart instantly shattered into countless pieces.
