Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa wasn't yet fully recovered.

She was still limping when she walked.

Despite that, she wouldn't allow herself to lie in bed like a useless person.

"Lyse, are you and Jasper really..." Rose clung onto Alyssa's arm, which had grown noticeably thinner.

She welled up with tears.

"Yeah.

It's over," Alyssa said with a soft smile, sounding almost relieved.

"We were once deeply in love, and that was enough.

I have no regrets." The urgency in Rose's voice made her eyes redden.
