In My Desperate Time

I nod to show my consent.

I don’t know who else would do this except for Whitney.

However, none of these matter anymore.

I smile and say to Steven, “It doesn’t matter. I am leaving anyway. I hope things could stop here.”

Thinking of the possibility of not seeing Frances forever, my heart feels like being cut with a knife. It feels terrible.

If I have the chance, I will not want to leave. Still, my life seems not to give me the chance to choose.

“It’s not bad. Without Frances, I hope you can live the life you want.” Seven looks into my eyes tenderly.

I have the instinct that he seems to have something to say, but he never says it.

“Alright, not much time left. I am leaving.”

I bid Steven farewell, walking to the gate with the luggage.
