Nicholas had been sentenced to eight years of jail time for intentional assault to protect Linda.

Linda had gone to visit him in prison countless times during her university years, but the warden’s response would always be a cold, “He doesn’t want to see you”.

Her last visit was when she graduated from university. She had gotten the company offer and wanted him to be the first person she shared the happy news with.

As she anxiously waited outside the visiting room, she heard the heavy noise of the metal door. Her tears were uncontrollable when Nicholas sat on the other side of the glass that separated them.

This was his first and last sentence to her. “Don’t cry. It’s not worth it to cry over someone like me.”

He looked at her deeply after that before getting up and going behind the metal door.

Linda slammed the glass with all her might, and the prison warden stopped her. The news came from the inside a while later. The warden told her solemnly that Nicholas had asked her not to visit him anymore and that she should act like they did not know each other even if they met.

Linda could only hear her ears buzz as her mind went blank.
