One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 132: Some things haven't changed

~~~I think I finally know you, I can see beyond your smile. I think that I can show you that what we have is still worthwhile. Don't you know that love's just like the thread that keeps unravelling, but then it ties us back together in the end? In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections. In your eyes, found the answers to my questions. And I think I've finally learned to love you more~~~

"Yeah, but not in your case."

"And how do you know it?"

"Because I can see the truth in your eyes. They are shining, shimmering, twinkling like those bright stars in the night sky."

And I couldn't stop the hilarious laugh that escaped my lips as she motioned her hands in the air as if they were really those twinkling stars.

"And speaking of twinkling stars, I think I have to go." She stood up and was about to leave the counter.

"Huh? And where are you going?"

"I'm going to my star because 'your star' is heading his way towards here." She said in a whisper and then winked at me.
