I went to the police station to ask about the progress of Joshua's case, but all I got was the same story Damon gave me,
When I left the police station, it was already dark, but the streets were bustling with people. After all, Christmas was just around the corner. It was the busiest time of the year.
In the cold, crowded streets, I got a call from Ariel. She was using a number I didn't recognize.
"Joshua, why did it have to be like this?" Ariel's sobbing voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Ariel, you're quite the actress," I said coldly. "He was your first love, and he was so good to you. Don't you feel the slightest bit of remorse?"
Ariel sobbed back, Eliana," I didn't mean for him to die. It was an accident. Why do you have to paint me as a heartless villain? I just wanted him to leave the city!"
Her crying was so intense that it seemed like she genuinely felt sorrow over Joshua's death.
