We should not be too adamant in life. Otherwise, we will be the ones who suffer in the end.

We chatted for a long time during the stroll. When we were back at the base, he turned towards me and said, “Since we’ve reconciled, can I invite you for dinner tonight? Don’t overthink about it.

When I was ready to leave the office in the evening, Marcus came and leaned against the door, smiling at me. “Seems like you’re busy with work every day.”
