Connor lay in bed, his heart filled with regret and confusion as he listened to Camila's footsteps fading away.

His gaze fell upon the messy sheets, still carrying traces of Camila's scent.

After a moment, he rose from the bed and walked over to the wardrobe. Opening it, he immediately spotted the tie and necklace from the night before.

He had intended to throw them away but had retrieved them from the trash can after his night of drinking.

Holding the tie and necklace, a mix of emotions flooded through him. He carefully folded the tie and placed it back in the wardrobe, sighing deeply.

He then grabbed some clothes and stepped into the bathroom, turning on the cold shower and letting the icy water wash over his weary face and body.
