He sat on the bed, pulled open the nightstand drawer, and saw a notebook.
Only one sentence was written on the page.
“The one who chooses to leave is the one in the most pain, for she’s already endured countless struggles before
finally making this decision.”
Looking at her delicate handwriting, he sneered, “The most pain?
“What about those years | spent with you? | suffered, too.”
He tossed the notebook into the trash bin.
But before he left, he put it back into the drawer.
That night, he didn’t sleep a wink.

inside.
One was for him.
“Gareth, I've already transferred the rent to your card. Thank you for looking out forthese days.
