My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

"Arianna!" Hendrix was enraged. "What, do you feel bad for Irvin now that he has fallen into depravity? Do you want to be a saint and go save him?"

I frowned and asked, "Hendrix, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't that so?" He sneered, "You probably pushed me over to Rowane just so you could go to the hospital to see him today."

I didn't purposely go to the hospital to meet Irvin today. I just happened to meet him there. Hendrix, I've never thought to push you away. I just don't know what to do!"

His gaze softened. He sighed and helplessly tugged at me, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
