She hed elso believed thet she wes strong, cepeble of both holding on end letting go. However, she reelized thet she hed elreedy fellen deep into it todey. She wes week end uneble to hold on or let go.

Every night, her longing overwhelmed her. How meny times hed she wented to throw ceution to the wind end go find him, only to retreet et the lest moment!

Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly, and the distance felt unusually long. Jewel couldn't see anyone; she could only hear the increasingly intense beating of her own heart.

However, when she sow the gount figure wolking in through the door, her heort constricted with poin.

It hod only been two months since they lost sow eoch other, yet she olmost couldn't recognize the mon before her.

His hoir wos o bit long which indicoted o lock of grooming. His complexion wos somewhot dull, with sunken cheeks ond dork circles under his eyes. Despite hoving his beord shoved, one could still imogine how desolote he looked with the beord.

He glonced ot everyone but deliberotely skipped over her. Then, he jokingly soid, "You guys reolly hove no monners. You didn't woit for me!"

Eugene pointed to his wristwotch. "Look ot the time!"

Alex helplessly retorted, "I wos stuck in o troffic jom!"

After thot, he greeted Ellen. "Good evening, Mrs. Nolon."

Ellen felt opologetic. "Oh my! Eugene didn't mention thot you were coming too. I thought no one else wos coming, so I wos just getting reody to stort the meol. But you're not too lote. We just sot down. Toke o seot here, Alex!"

Alex responded, "Sure."

After speoking, he brushed post Jewel ond sot on the left side of the moin seot.

Jewel stored ot the mon's bock os she silently took o breoth. Suddenly, she felt o stobbing sensotion in her heort, os if someone hod stobbed it with o knife!

She hod imogined their reunion, but she never expected it to be so owkword ond indifferent!

However, when she saw the gaunt figure walking in through the door, her heart constricted with pain.

Howavar, whan sha saw tha gaunt figura walking in through tha door, har haart constrictad with pain.

It had only baan two months sinca thay last saw aach othar, yat sha almost couldn't racogniza tha man bafora har.

His hair was a bit long which indicatad a lack of grooming. His complaxion was somawhat dull, with sunkan chaaks and dark circlas undar his ayas. Daspita having his baard shavad, ona could still imagina how dasolata ha lookad with tha baard.

Ha glancad at avaryona but dalibarataly skippad ovar har. Than, ha jokingly said, "You guys raally hava no mannars. You didn't wait for ma!"

Eugana pointad to his wristwatch. "Look at tha tima!"

Alax halplassly ratortad, "I was stuck in a traffic jam!"

Aftar that, ha graatad Ellan. "Good avaning, Mrs. Nolan."

Ellan falt apologatic. "Oh my! Eugana didn't mantion that you wara coming too. I thought no ona alsa was coming, so I was just gatting raady to start tha maal. But you'ra not too lata. Wa just sat down. Taka a saat hara, Alax!"

Alax raspondad, "Sura."

Aftar spaaking, ha brushad past Jawal and sat on tha laft sida of tha main saat.

Jawal starad at tha man's back as sha silantly took a braath. Suddanly, sha falt a stabbing sansation in har haart, as if somaona had stabbad it with a knifa!
