The Woman From Hell

I could vaguely sense that something was not right when I noticed Theo's hastened footsteps. Come to think of it, things had been unusual ever since he met Neil for the first time. Although I suspected he was being jealous, his behavior was not the same as when he was jealous.

When I turned to look back at where I was just now, I realized Neil had already walked away as well.

I stopped and looked at Theo's back before calling out to him, "Theo."

Theo's steps halted as well when he heard me.

I approached him and stood before him, stating, "He left."

"Yes," Theo replied apathetically as he looked at me calmly with one hand in his pocket.

I lowered my eyes slightly and questioned in a soft voice, "Why?"

"Let's go back." Theo did not answer my question.

"Alright."

He led me toward the exit as soon as I agreed to his suggestion.

However, even after getting in the car, he did not start it for a long time.
