He strode towards me. I glanced at him indifferently and walked in the other direction.
Frank quickly caught up, grabbing my wrist, his eyes filled with pleading as he spoke cautiously. "Eve, you must be exhausted after working so late. I made this myself, all your favorites. Would you like to try some?"
Everything he did now was what I used to do to appease him after arguments.
He was using my methods on me.
I thought, "See, if he's willing to learn, he can."
But after years of dating, he only understood this after we broke up.
"Frank, this is meaningless."
I looked at him indifferently, my eyes like calm seas without a breeze.
"Eve, I never wanted to break up. We've been together for so long, can't you just not give up so easily? And we're engaged, my mom even gave you such expensive wedding gifts..."
Before he could finish, he realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately looked at me cautiously, adding, "I don't mean for you to return it..."
Seeing him desperately trying to explain, I remembered. After setting the wedding date, his mom gave me an expensive diamond necklace and bracelet.
But I had never worn them, so I forgot about it.
I interrupted him, "I understand. I'll bring them back tomorrow. Not a single diamond will miss."
