She wiped her tears away, blinked, and intentionally leaned her delicately made-up face toward him.

She was so devastated that she wanted to cry more. “My makeup’s wrecked, and you forgot you’re supposed to spend time with me! We’re about to be engaged, yet you can’t fulfill your promises! It doesn’t seem like you care about me at all. It’s not like I can’t get married if I leave you, Nico!”
