“I still can’t believe this.” Marco grunted as he took a bite of his burger. He was seated across from me at the restaurant he brought me to after coming to pick me up. He did this to make me feel better, but I didn’t even like this restaurant, but he insisted on it because he liked their burger and I was too tired from crying to object.

“Yeah,” I muttered as I pushed my food around on my plate, not having an appetite at all.

Marco sighed as he dropped his burger to focus on me fully. “Don’t look so dejected, Addi. This isn’t the end of the world, and that job of yours was shitty anyway.”

I blanched in disbelief as I stared at him.

“What? That’s my only source of income, of course I’m dejected as hell!” I cried out while he sighed again.

“You can easily find another job, a very better one—“

I cut him off, feeling angry all of a sudden. “I wouldn’t have lost the job if your ex was a normal person, but alas she’s a psycho. This is her fault.”

He nodded this time before speaking. “You’re right, this is her fault and I’m still shocked she could do that cause that’s not like her at all. Are you sure she was the one you saw?”

I bristled from disbelief. “Of course I’m sure! Marco, this is serious.”

He groaned this time before leaning forward again. “I know, I know, and I’m sorry, okay? I’ll deal with this, and of course I’ll speak to Aisha about this. I don’t condone this at all, how dare she think she could do this?”

That made most of the anger bleed from my lungs and I sighed dejectedly before picking up my coffee and gulping from it.

“Cheer up, Addi. This is really a good thing if you look at it from a different angle. That job was shitty, you complained about it a lot,” he murmured as he eyed me from acrosd the table and I nodded slowly after a few seconds.

He wasn’t wrong. I used to complain about my work, but at the end of the day, it still paid my bills.

He reached out to take my hand from across the table, and my eyes met his just as he spoke. “We’re in this together, okay?”

I resisted the urge to burst into tears from how overwhelmed I suddenly feel, and instead nodded slowly in
