She decided not to go after all, there were too many people at the banquet she didn't want to meet. If she met them now, things would become even more complicated, even harder to control.
But—if she didn't go, would he blame her?
The more she thought, the more confused her mind became, the more agitated her heart felt; she simply stood up from the sofa, ready to change clothes and wash up, and to rest early.
As she unbuttoned her collar with both hands, she suddenly touched the necklace on her neck, the delicate platinum necklace that now had a faint warmth to it.
Her hands suddenly froze; since he had put that necklace on her, she had never taken it off.
Her fingers gently rubbed against the chain, as her eyes fell on the shiny English letters glowing under the light.
Memories of the day he celebrated her birthday suddenly flashed through her mind.
The beautiful bridge, the vibrant roses, the brilliant fireworks, and his affectionate words, everything about him.
