Olivia had just ended her video call with Zack when Ethan's call came in.
Olivia hadn't contacted Ethan in weeks, but now, she could hear his voice. "Liv."
He seemed to be in a spacious area, and she could hear the cold wind howling.
"I'm here." Olivia wanted to ask where he was, but she thought that he might be carrying out some top-secret military mission, so she didn't ask.
"Did you miss me?" Ethan's voice was a little hoarse. He must be somewhere extremely cold.
Olivia had been there a few times before. Even a breath of the freezing air threatened to blow up her lungs.
"It's not that bad."
"You're not adorable at all, Liv. Unlike you, I missed you a lot."
His hoarse voice had given him some extra manly charm instead. Olivia felt her heart shivering in a good way.
In the past, she would think of Ethan every waking hour if she couldn't see him. But now, she wouldn't do that. She had a lot of her own business to attend to.
Ethan used to be like indispensable air and water to her. But now, he was just a bottle of beverage.
When she sometimes thought of him, she would want to have a taste of his sweetness. But even if she didn't taste him, it wouldn't affect her usual life.
In contrast, Ethan's mind was filled with thoughts of her these days. He seemed to have become obsessed with her.
"I'm coming back tomorrow."
Olivia said softly, "Alright. Take care."
"Goodnight."
Ethan looked at his phone, which was displaying the call Olivia had decisively ended. A bitter and exasperated smile appeared on his face.
Even though Ethan and Olivia had gotten more physically intimate with each other, they couldn't return to what they once were.
A snowflake drifted onto his open palm. It was just like his fragile relationship with Olivia.
Even so, he had to hold it firmly in his hands! He wouldn't let her leave him ever again.
He told himself that things would get better.
With a bang, a bullet landed on a spot near his feet.
"Mr. Miller, duck!" Brent's urgent voice rang out.
