Jade was all over the place, ordering pizza, slicing some apples, and ensuring I was eating well and staying healthy.

"Are you saying my cooking sucks?" She squinted her eyes at me dangerously, but I bravely nodded.

She pouted, "Look who's talking. Let's agree that neither of us will win a cooking show, okay?"

I laughed genuinely, feeling light-hearted.

Jade stared at me before she spoke, "Are you sure you won't tell him the truth? He'd regret it if he knew."

I shook my head firmly, not wanting to say. The breakup was ugly. I didn't want him to find me or feel guilty. Now that we lost even the initial affection for each other, why bother?
