A week without Aleya, like not drinking mineral water, feels weak and dehydrated. How can Leo survive while his head is filled with Aleya's face.
And how did he end up falling into Erren's snare? Even though he clearly loves Aleya very much and even… he has never cheated on anyone.
What woman's heart doesn't hurt? he thought.
He cursed himself. Fooled himself for playing a beautiful and expensive gemstone.
Even since then, the rain in New York City has not stopped. Sometimes it's drizzling, sometimes it's torrential.
Leo was standing at the end of the balcony, staring out at the raindrops pouring down New York City. He has begun to understand that the rain is a sign of sadness from his lover.
Not texting, not exchanging conversations, was the first time in his life Leo felt this way. Back when they were with Olive, they had never been like this. But with Aleya, it was so heavy and painful.
