"Look at me." Theo pinched my chin, forcing me to look at him.
There was pain in his eyes and a self-deprecating smile on his face. "I know what you're thinking about, Wanda. But I'll tell you loud and clear that if you leave me, I'll be the one to die first."
I mumbled. "You won't."
Did he not continue his life as normal the three years I was gone?
Theo let out a wry smile. "Keith probably told you how bad of a state I was in the first year you left. I tortured myself with the intention to end my life at the time. After that, I stopped torturing myself because I decided to love you alone and no one else. No matter what price I had to pay, I swore to make you come back to my side."
My eyes turned pink, and my chest was in excruciating pain.
In the journey of love, he had chosen the most difficult path of all.
I was not in good spirits and fell asleep early at night.
On this hazy night, he kissed me. His voice was deep and soft. His thin lips were pressed against my ear.
His voice was low and attractive as he said, "Let’s go t o Zenon and never come back..."
Go to Zenon...
Zenon was a great place. My time there felt like it was stolen from the time machine. It would be great if I could live there forever.
It was the start of October and it was a little cold in the morning. I woke up with my feet feeling a little chilly.
As soon as I woke up, Theo woke up as well.
