Kristopher sat just ten feet away from Belinda, the distance seemingly magnified by the cool detachment on his face, as if they were in separate universes.

Belinda, gazing at his impassive expression, forced a smile. “Yes, I’ve made my decision,” she affirmed.

Now, having relinquished her illusions, she looked back, deeming herself foolish for squandering her youth and vitality on someone who had never genuinely acknowledged her presence.
