Rena, already weighed down by her emotions, had no desire to engage with Harold.
Yet, he grabbed her arm, forcefully pulling her out of the car.
The cold night wind bit at their skin as they faced each other.
Harold, cigarette in hand, took a drag before speaking, his voice laced with bitterness. “After everything, you still want to be with him? Do you want to witness Waylen maintaining contact with his ex-lover throughout this two-year cross-border divorce lawsuit?

She instructed the driver to proceed, and with a heavy sigh, he stepped on the gas.
Rena remained silent throughout the journey, lost in her thoughts.
The young driver couldn’t help but offer some reassurance, “Don’t worry, Miss Gordon. I won’t gossip about what happened tonight.”
Rene didn’t respond, her mind preoccupied with her current situation.
She returned to Waylen’s apartment and created a comfortable space for Snowball.

The hours stretched on, the stillness of the night broken only by Snowball’s restless circling at Rena’s feet.
