"Oh.That was fast. Did he find out what happened to us last night?" asked Toru. Clarissa smiled sadly."Don't worry about it too much. That's not why we decided to split up. Apparently, he fell in love with somebody else." she answered."I'm sorry to hear that. But are you okay?" Toru asks her again."Surprisingly, I'm more than okay. It may sound weird, but I feel more relieved when we broke up. Should I pretend to cry and be heartbroken?" Clarissa stated, in an amused manner.Without a warning, Toru suddenly lets out a bark of laughter."You never cease to amaze me, Clarissa. You're really one of a kind." he enunciated."Well, I'm glad I made you laugh." Clarissa said, while shrugging her shoulders."By the way, are you hungry? We can do a take out by going at the drive thru and eat while we're on the road." Toru suddenly suggested."Sure! I'm actually starving."

"Yes, Sir. I'm absolutely fine. Why are you outside?" Clarissa curiously asked him."Oh, I'm just here to get some fresh air. How about you, what are you doing here?" Toru asked her the same question."Uh, same to you, I guess. I'm feeling a bit suffocated inside." Clarissa responded, while shrugging her shoulders.His instinct's telling him that Clarissa's hiding her real feelings. Anyway, he doesn't have the right to force her to tell him the truth.Clarissa smiled at him, and then she spoke again."I have to go back inside..." she informed him."Oh, alright. I'll just stay here for a bit more. I'll go back inside in a few minutes." Toru smiled back at her.Clarissa nodded, then afterwards, she walks back inside...Toru watched her walking away until she's out of sight."I hope you'll be able to see what is going on around you, Clarissa." he whispered.==========================Few hours have passed.
