“You jerk!”
He set me down roughly on the grass, my legs almost buckling under me as I regained my
balance.
vercome with embarrassment and frustration, I burst out, “What the hell is your

“Why would you propose like that, in front of everyone? Were you trying to humiliate me?”
“Yes, and so what?” He shouted back, his voice booming over mine.
But why?
His anger was baffling.
He had always acted on his own, deciding what he thought I need without ever consulting

To him, I was nothing more than an accessory.
Even less than Aria, who could help him in his career.
So why, why was he angry?
“You hesitated! You actually hesitated when I proposed! Is it because of Rolin? Do you want
to leave me for him?”
I looked at his angry face, lifted the corners of my bitten lip, and said:
“Leo, this isn’t about Rolin. It’s about me. I’ve spent so many years making everything about you–about us–and in the process, I lost myself.

“This is where it ends, Leo, we’re breaking up.”
After three years, I finally found the strength to let go.
