Helanie:
Jenny never said anything and just remained sitting, watching my face. It was the most awkward few minutes of my life. For a moment, I felt like she knew I was lying to her.
And that she knew all my truths.
But then Lamar arrived with Lucy, and Jenny's attention was diverted from me.
"Let me take you to your room," Lucy spoke politely to Jenny. Ever since the rejection, Lucy had changed a lot.
She was like her old self—the one who was always loving and happy to help everyone around her. Thankfully, she stopped saying Gavin's name. But the sad part was that she was pushing herself too hard to act normal. It's fine to let the pain linger for a while instead of just hiding it.
The rest of the day was full. I didn't go for dinner, and neither did Lamar and Lucy. We were all tired, and since we had lunch late, we just went to bed early.
