I’m really grateful to have such open–minded parents–they’re always the ones who give me the strength to keep going.‘

“Why?” Nathan looked at me, a bit surprised. “It’s just a minor wound. The doctor said the stitches can come out in a week.”

“No way. I’m staying to take care of you,” I said, shaking my head and meeting his eyes with determination. “Don’t try to refuse me. Even if you try to kick me out, I’m not leaving.”

Nathan looked away for a moment, then sneaked a glance at me–his ears were tinged with red.

“I’m sorry, Victoria. Did I ruin your holiday plans?” he asked softly.

“Really, I didn’t have anything special going on. Don’t worry about it,” I said, wanting to ease his mind.

That was just Nathan–even though he got hurt because of me, he was still worried about how I felt. He was so selfless it made my heart ache, and at the same time, I couldn’t help but be moved by him.

“Really? You and Ryan… didn’t you two have any plans for a trip or something?” Nathan hesitated, his eyes flickering before he finally brought up Ryan.

I looked at him, caught off guard for a moment, then just laid it out. “Nathan, I broke up with Ryan not long ago. We’re done for good.”

Nathan looked stunned, staring at me. “You really broke up?”

I nodded. “Yeah, we did. We just weren’t right for each other.”

Nathan’s gaze lingered on my face, as if he was searching for something in my expression.

I couldn’t help but let out a wry smile, reaching out to cover his eyes. “Come on, quit staring at me like that. People come and go–it’s just how life is.”

“How did you guys break up?” Nathan’s voice was a little rough. “Was it his idea, or did you end things?”
