Sometimes, you come to your senses in just a matter o f seconds, and you suddenly see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The sadness, depression, and the feeling of suffocation were fading away. She was now different from the miserable look of the past few days.
She was a little excited, her expression brightening u p. But then, her expression froze as she looked in a particular direction.
Those changes of expressions would never escape Grace’s eyes. She turned around and saw through the transparent glass of Mark and the girl getting into the car together. "No way is he going out with another girl so quickly. Look at your expression; you look like a grumbling woman. Are you sure you can let go of him?"
Summer pulled back her eyes and stared at Grace, who was still chewing the straw. "Don't you think the girl’s behavior is a bit of an eyesore?”
"I just think you are jealous. Why do you think that girl is an eyesore to you? Have you thought of a solution?"

He was a man of his word, but when he arrived at her place, he could only lower himself.
But this time, he would not make the first move to look for her. He wanted her to turn around and admit her mistake on her own accord.
