When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I rested my chin on my hand and stared blankly at the screen. “I just finished two episodes of a drama. My head hurts so much. John, I think my illness’ getting worse.”

I looked down from the balcony and saw him popping his head out from the car window. “Come down. Let’s go for a ride.”

Listening to his words, I changed my clothes and went downstairs.

After getting into his car, he turned to me and asked, “Do you feel like drinking?”
