"And I want you to be happy like Jason and me," Mika said as she held Ryn's hands.
"I am happy," Ryn said.
"Are you?"
"I guess my poker face is so on point that you can't see behind the mask," Ryn patted Mika hand reassuringly. She would not tell Mika about the times she was worried about the future of her life with Jeremy. It was from her own insecurity and she knew once she could believe in her worth, then she would bravely accept his love. Right now, she was half letting him into her heart and the other hand pushing him away. She found herself suspicious about the reason why he wanted to return to her and whether he would repeat back what he did last time. Her little fragile heart could no longer bear the hurt the second time.
Mika sighed. She could guess it was Ryn's insecurity that stopped her from truly accepting Jeremy and resulted in Ryn being unable to return back to what she used to be.
