CHAPTER 55
He was mad at what Claire said but did his best to ignore it as he left the company.
He had made his date and there was no going back with it.
He knew she cared about him but she went out of line there and he had to tell her off.
They were the ones who wanted him to associate and get himself back but while he is trying to, they were quenching every hope of it.
Shaking his head he combed through his hair a bit while waiting for a taxi to hitch a ride home.
Normally when he was sad or frustrated like this, he usually took a stroll to calm down but not now. Right now he was sad and even more, he wanted to cry.
From thinking of all she said, his mind was brought back and he recalled the times when Aria was with him and their love was more than enough to lighten up his day.
He looked up at the sun and shut his eyes tight.
