Was Quill acting like this because she wanted to leave him?

However, it wouldn't change the fact that Quill was engaged even if he had changed.

Vera closed her eyes and allowed the hot water to wash over her, letting her feel as if her troubles were far away.

Just as she was ready to leave the bathroom, she noticed the numerous hickeys Quill had left on her neck as she walked past the mirror.

Thinking of his actions earlier, Vera gnashed her teeth, infuriated.

That b*stard! Vera wondered if he would continue to kiss and hug her when she went out. How could he continue to be so intimate with her after they'd broken up?

She couldn't even get over it just thinking about it.

Thus, she simply froze in place inside the bathroom.

After a while, a knock came at the door.

"Vivy."

Quill's voice sounded through the door. "Come out when you're done. I'll help you dry your hair."

He wanted to dry her hair for her?

Vera waved her hands dismissively. Quill's precious hands were much more suited to signing billion-dollar contracts and drying his fiancee's hair.

Thus, Quill called out to her again when she did not reply. It was only then Vera reluctantly answered, "Wait, I'm not done."

Then, she remained standing in the bathroom. Fixed on the hickeys on her neck, she wondered how to hide them. There was nothing in the bathroom, and none of her clothes were high collared.

Just as Vera was grappling with her thoughts, the door was pushed open. Startled, she never expected Quill to barge in.
