When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 345

Tears welled up in my eyes as a mixture of laughter and sobs escaped me. I quickly sent her my location, “So, what about your getaway? No more chasing the exotic romance?”

“Which is more important, a fleeting romance or you? I wouldn’t dream of letting you spend the holidays all by yourself.” She brushed it off with a giggle, “Besides, I’ve heard Vista Town is quite the spot for a romantic encounter.”

“I owe you big time,”

I couldn’t help but chuckle, “All I can offer is a feast of fun and games, just a small token of my appreciation.”

Truth be told, money was hardly a concern between us anymore. It just didn’t matter.

She stood by the window, admiring the snowy vista of Vista Town, “That news about Gregory, what do you make of it?”

I paused, then said, “What about it? I don’t see why I should bother.”

“Come on, don’t play dumb.” Christine nudged me. “He’s into you, and you’re not exactly locking your heart away from him, are you?”

“There’s some truth to that.”

I curled up on the couch, gesturing a small distance with my fingers and blinking, “Just that sort of feeling where it could be something, but it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t.”

I was past the stage of letting love run wild.

Once bitten, twice shy.

“That’s good enough.”
