Moving Away

My eyes lit up when I heard Michael's suggestion.

What could be better than leaving the place with so many people and going to a place where Michael and I were alone?!

I looked at Michael with a grin. "If my departure is the reason for your decision, maybe I should leave you a few more times."

A helpless smile appeared on Michael's face; he tapped me on the forehead. "Don't even think about it. You only have to run once. I won't always give you a chance. You're not allowed to go away for a day or a night."

When Michael and I returned to the house together and announced that we were leaving, I saw Joanna could no longer hold on to her smile as she was shocked.

This was the first time I had ever smiled sincerely at Joanna. I was so happy to be able to leave this place and to make sure that Michael and Joanna had no more contact.
