*Puff*
I stared at the smoke that traced away from my cigarette. It was dark outside, and I could see the stars in the sky.
But most importantly.
It was quiet.
"..."
It was what I needed the most at the moment.
My thoughts were in a bit of a mess, and the silence that hung in the air seemed fitting.
"Haa."
*Puff*
Thinking back about the expression Sarah made when I shook my head and rejected her, I felt my chest grow heavy.
'So she really...'
"Hah."
I took a deep breath.
It seemed clearer to me. She wouldn't have reacted the way that she did had that not been the case.
But what about me?
How did I feel...?
"I don't know."
There was something, but it was mostly empty.
