As each second passed, Alex Jo was reminded of the past more and more.
He realized that he wasn't the only one who changed, she did too. However, he knew that there's no one to blame but himself. He had let her down and broke her trust.
If this was the past Nicole who used to love him wholeheartedly, she won't even need a second to ponder! During those times, whenever he asked her if she trusted him, she would always answer right away. 'Yes.' But now, the question was followed by a long silence.
"I can't make a decision for now. I need time."
That's how Nicole responded after a long silence and it hurt Alex Jo more than he could imagine! He expected it. He deserved it too but still... it's hard to be okay.
Only now did he realized the tremendous pain he brought to her. How broken hearted was she when her once strong trust in him faded little by little until... it completely vanished!
