Willow stopped trying to make conversation. Instead, she pulled her winter jacket tighter around herself as she sat with him on the wooden bench outside of campus. She endured the biting cold wind and accompanied Hansel as the night gradually descended.

It wasn’t until the sky was fully dark, the street lights flickered on, and the neon signs at the distant commercial district began to light up that Hansel finally stood up slowly.

Willow was surprised and called out, “Hey…”

Hansel ignored her and headed to his car. He got in, started the engine, and drove off.

At that moment, Willow found herself a little envious of Miranda. How did she manage to make such a proud man willingly lower himself for her? How could she remain unmoved by the allure of luxury cars and expensive watches?

Sure enough, she had clearly witnessed the scene of Hansel dropping Miranda off earlier. Although she was too far away to hear what they were saying, it wasn’t hard to deduce from the dejected look on his face that Miranda had rejected him. And it obviously wasn’t a gentle rejection.

Willow shoved her hands into the pockets of her winter jacket, feeling the warmth slowly returning to her cold palms. She had kept Hansel company in such cold weather and sat with him against the biting winds. Even with long boots on, her feet had become as cold as ice.
