Chapter 145
The weather was good, with the sun casting playful shadows through the windows, painting the room in a spectrum of light and colors.
Melvin sat there, whose gaze was fixed on Jocelyn with an intensity that seemed to chill the air. His eyes were deep pools of lost dreams and cold resolve, as if his heart had been broken and his soul had gone astray.
Jocelyn squirmed in his stare. Especially now she was only dressed in her thermal underwear and cocooned in a blanket. It was decidedly inappropriate.

Melvin’s heart felt as though it was being crushed by invisible hands. His smile was a twisted mix of menace and desolation. “How cruel of you.
Jocelyn was stunned.
In that moment, Melvin’s look made her feel like she was the worst of villains, as if she were the one who had betrayed him and let him

She didn’t know what to say.
Explain? There was no point.
But not explaining seemed wrong somehow either.
The stalemate continued until Melvin’s fingers curled slightly. He took a deep, shaky breath. “Even a dog would mourn the loss of affection. What about you?”
