After having three cigarettes, Catherine made up her mind.

It was the first time that she had smoked, yet she had not the slightest uncomfortable feelings. She felt addicted, like an old smoker. It seemed to be the only way to get paralyzed.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Catherine leaned back on the sofa a little wearily.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, and the warm pictures she saw through the live broadcast tonight flashed in her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Catherine felt abandoned, fooled, and betrayed.

After a while, Linda's image came to her mind again.

Linda cleaned up her room and the wine cabinet without being asked to and filled her refrigerator with drinks. What a loyal girl!

Catherine helped Linda, and Linda tried her best to pay back Catherine's kindness.
