Chapter 72: The Stares

~~~I know I can't take one more step towards you, 'cause all that's waiting is regret. Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore? You lost the love I loved the most. I have grown too strong to ever fall back in your arms. I've learned to leave half alive and now you want me

"Good!" Jack exclaimed and Paul turned to her with a smile. "Do you have any idea what happened to their marriage?"

"No." He shook his head. "Why? What happened?" Then he turned to me.

We learned about many things from Paul, how Liezel and Lexter met, how did their relationship grow and how they ended up being together after six years. After the couple announced their engagement and upcoming wedding, Liezel pulled her fiancé towards our table and she excitedly introduced him to us. It was only then that I recognized him as I remembered him visiting Dale in our house before to do a group project. "Congratulations on your engagement and happy birthday, Lexter."
