Those four words felt like a barbed double–edged blade, cutting into both Jeffrey and Rebecca at once.

They had always been each other’s confidant, trusting and knowing one another inside out.

But in that instant.

The strong bond between them started to crack.

“Honestly, before all those things happened, I always felt lucky,” Rebecca said, her words coming straight from the heart. “You were always playing mind games and scheming with everyone else, but with me, you truly treated me with honesty. I never imagined you’d use all your tricks and schemes on me.”

“I’ve used them,” Jeffrey replied.

“What?” Rebecca blinked in disbelief.

“Since that first time I saw you after we grew up, I’ve been pulling every trick I know just to get you back home with me,” Jeffrey confessed.

“That’s different,” Rebecca clarified. “I’m talking about the things you did that actually hurt me.”

“I have,” Jeffrey replied quietly.

Rebecca stared at him, puzzled.

‘When did that happen?‘ Rebecca wondered.

“When we weren’t together, there were several guys who tried to go after you. But I couldn’t stand seeing them around, so I got Gregory to keep them busy with other stuff,” Jeffrey confessed, not hiding any of the shady things he’d pulled. “I never gave you a chance to pick any of them.”

‘Everyone always says that loving someone means giving her the freedom to choose, so she can go for the person she really wants, Rebecca thought to herself.

‘But Jeffrey ended up making that choice for me,‘ she realized.

“I always knew,” Rebecca replied, thinking this was just the kind of unspoken understanding they shared.

This time, it was Jeffrey who found himself caught off guard.

Rebecca laid her thoughts from back then out for him. “I never needed any of those chances. From the very start, I already made the best choice for myself–and that was you.”

“Rebecca…” Jeffrey felt his heart ache and warm all at once, the bittersweet feeling washing over him.

“I don’t regret anything from the past,” Rebecca said, her words leaving Jeffrey’s heart in pieces. “And now, I’m holding on to the decision I’ve made. I’ve always lived life my own way.”
