The elevator dinged and the doors opened. I stepped in and turned around to face him.
He rolled his head up and opened his mouth in a pleading gesture that told me he was hurting. Not as bad as I was but he looked ragged and desperate.
"Baby, girl…don't do this," Mu Zhen begged as the doors started to close me in alone.
I heard a loud bang coupled with one very comprehensible shouted as the car started to take me down. Down to the street where I would hail a uber drive me home to my flat. Where I would fall apart as soon as I could get inside, and where I would crawl into my bed and curl up and try to forget him.
Yuan Mu Zhen. I was doomed to failure and I knew that. I would never be able to forget him. Never.
