Chapter 60
I ultimately chose not to attend the same university as her.
I’m not even sure what I was trying to escape.
Instead, I opted for the university next door.
I watched as she gradually adapted to life, regaining her vitality. I saw her take on part–time jobs during her free time, improving her life. steadily. I saw her travel to various places, living like a free–spirited rose.
Yet, it seemed I had even less reason to approach her now.

I stood up and took her hand, walking out the door with her.
This time, I won’t let go easily.
