“You’re selfish, Courage.

Self centered!

I’ve known it for a long time, but I stayed, hoping you would change.

Clearly, I was wrong.

I’m done.” Before she could process his words, Reuben stormed out of the cafeteria.

For a moment, she stood frozen, her mind racing.

Then, as expected, she ran after him, tears streaming down her face.

“What do you mean by ‘done’?

Reuben, this is ridiculous!” she cried, catching up to him.

“You’re ending everything because of a million?

I thought we were building a life together!” Her voice cracked with emotion, her heartbreak evident.

Reuben stopped abruptly, turning to face her.

His expression was cold, his tone void of compassion.

“Yes, I’m done.

You’re too selfish to see it, but this isn’t just about the money.

I’m done wasting my time with someone who doesn’t support me.” Courage’s chest tightened.

“Reuben, this isn’t about not supporting you,” she pleaded.

“It’s about being realistic.

I can’t just give you such a huge amount without knowing where it’s going!” Seeing that his words had achieved their goal of making her desperate, Reuben stopped walking as he approached his car.

He turned to face Courage, his expression softening, but the calculation in his eyes was still evident.
