"It's okay, stop crying." Joshua Thompson pulled out two tissues from the table beside him, casually wiping her face. As he wiped, he suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" Confused by his actions, Riley Wallace grabbed a mirror from her small bag to look at her face.
She hadn't realized that her makeup was smeared all over her face, making her look like a ghost.
"Riley Wallace, you should gain some weight back. You look terrible being this thin," Joshua teased, looking at her sideways.
"You...," he actually recognized her.
"Alright, I get it. I'll gain the weight back. It's not worth it to be like this for him."
Once recognized, Riley felt better.
So what if her confession was a failure, it wasn't a big deal.
Some matters, when hidden, become a burden on one's heart. Once uncovered, that knot in your heart loosens.
"Gain the weight back and be yourself," Joshua hinted in his words.
