The atmosphere inside the car grew quiet.
Luna curled her lips into a smirk and gazed at Joshua with clear eyes. "Mr. Lynch, what kind of man do you think would make me fall so hopelessly in love with?"

"Until eventually, in the end, I realized that this man wasn't worth my time at all. He was selfish and arrogant and didn't care about anyone apart from himself. He didn't deserve anyone's love, yet ironically, many other women besides me were crazy for him..."
