Her Passion
The night went as expected.
Long Mei hardly slept.
She stayed up thinking about what Jin Qing said, the words weighing over her mind.
She had not forgotten the last words she said to him before the accident. She told him she hated him and that she wanted nothing to do with him. And Jin Qing still holds up to her word, even when he thought she'd forgotten she said it.
Every person who came into Jin Qing's life, including her, had failed him and made him feel unwanted.
Long Mei balled her hands into fists, her nails digging into her skin, shame filling her. She did not know what to do, how to make him talk to her as they used to.
She stirred out of bed.
When she went down the kitchen, the coffee was still warm, which meant Jin Qing had not left long before she came down.
