But they thought that I was too narrow-minded and overthinking.
When I came out of the shower, Anna was gone. She had not shown up at the agreed time for fishing. I did not call her, took my tools and drove to the destination by myself.
The fishing spot was beautiful. The owner of the fish pond had planted flowers all around. I found a secluded corner and sat down. Then I took a photo and posted it on my Moments with the caption "Beautiful scenery, good weather, and good mood!".
Jack also posted a picture on his Moments at the same time. The picture showed him being put on a drip, and Anna was taking care of him, holding the needle tubing for him with thoughtfulness.
I put down my phone without any emotion and continued fishing. They were always like that and I was used to it.
After a while my phone started vibrating constantly, but I didn't want to answer it.
In the past, I would have called to question Anna, but there was no need now.
After all, people who were not in love were the most free and easy.
When I got home from fishing, the table was full of dishes and Anna was busy in the kitchen.
But I had already eaten on the way back, so I went straight into the bedroom to sleep.
Sleepy, I heard someone calling my name.
But I was so tired that I didn't want to speak and slept.
Once before, she asked me to go to a movie with her. It rained heavily that day and I waited at the entrance of the cinema for a long time. But she didn't come, instead she accompanied Jack to dye his hair.
Then she also prepared a full table of dishes as an apology. I was very touched at first, but when I saw the take-away boxes in the trash can, I realized how perfunctory she was.
When I woke up the next day, Anna was already sitting at the dining table, which was filled with breakfast.
"I'm sorry that I had something urgent to do yesterday and forgot to let you go fishing alone.
"I will definitely go fishing with you this weekend!
"Believe me!"
I said expressionless, "Well."
In fact, it was quite nice to fish alone. Looking at the calm water, I felt a quietness that I had never felt in the past few years. I seemed to gradually enjoy the quietness.
I had an appointment with a friend to discuss something, so I didn't eat the breakfast she made and went out directly when I came out of the bathroom, seeing Anna not in the living room.
