No matter how hard I try to deny it, you are the last person I want to lose.”Thera swallowed hard. Hearing those felt like someone hit her hard on the chest. Sean's voice sounded so broken and sincere to her ears.“I know I cannot put back in your eyes all the tears you cried for me. I know that a single sorry can't

Suddenly, the music coming from the headset stuck in her ears waned. The pounding in her chest overpowered The Carpenter’s smooth and soothing voice. The music playing was one of her favorite songs— “Close To You”. It was her parents’ theme song.Thera felt Kisses’ light nudge on her side. She was looking at him, too.

I owe you one,"She smiled a bit. The man was about to say something, but he chose to shut his mouth. It seemed like the woman was still not in the mood for a chat. He felt the need to get out of the car. Clutching the door handle preventively, he turned to face her once more."Do you want some coffee?
