When Love Breaks by Jack

Christine took a long breath before she finally came to terms with the news, “You know what I say, it’s all about the silver lining. You’ve had your share of tough times, and now even the universe seems to be making it up to you.”

“Fingers crossed!”

I let out a sigh, “Dr. Thompson’s assistant also texted me, Grandma’s recovering faster than we expected. She might be ready to leave the hospital in a couple of days.”

“Isn’t that great? Why do you sound so unenthusiastic?”

“It’s just… too much good news all at once.”

I cracked a smile. “Makes me worry if it’s too good to be true.”

I suppose I’ve never been the optimist.

Growing up, I was used to not having much. Now that things are looking up, I can’t help but feel anxious about it.

Christine, on the other hand, has always had a better outlook than me. She poked my forehead, “No use worrying about things that haven’t happened yet.” “You’re right.”

I nodded, agreeing that I should adjust my attitude. But the unease in my heart didn’t fade away.

Luckily, Ivy came to pick me up not long after, successfully distracting me.

Christine was about to make me over when Ivy laughed, “It’s still early, no need to fuss. Your mom arranged for a stylist to come to Cloud Villas this afternoon to get you ready.” I was startled, “That sounds… really unnecessary.”
