Chapter 9: End It

Rosalind went to Jeremy’s apartment with no prior notice. She wanted to ensure she would get a closure that day. Five years had been too long, and she didn’t want to waste more of her time for someone who didn’t appreciate her.

Jeremy didn’t open the door when she pressed the bell button. So, she called him. He picked the call at the third call.

“Rosalind?”

“I want to speak with you for a few minutes. I’m at the door of your apartment.”

“It’s not a good time. Maybe an hour from now?”

Taking a deep breath, Rosalind shook her head. “I won’t take a lot of your time. Five minutes at max.”

“Okay, then. I’ll open the door. Wait for me.”

Gulping, she prepared herself to stay calm and collected. But then, when she saw Jeremy, looking cheerful as if he had no problem in the world, anger and hatred filled her heart. How could he do this to her?

“Rosalind? What do you want to talk about?” Jeremy asked.

“Can we sit?” She gestured at the dark brown couch on the veranda.

Jeremy scratched his head.
