Irene’s voice rose suddenly. She was curious when she saw anger emanating from Joel, and hence she asked in nervousness.

Putting his phone away, Joel put on his hat and suddenly walked toward Irene. Solemnly, he called out, “Irene Weber.”

“Yes?” Irene looked up and met his eyes.

Breaking up—isn’t this what I’ve been looking forward to?

Wrapping himself in the down jacket tightly, Linus still felt cold. However, that was someone else’s cold that he was feeling…
