You and I, Never to Meet Again

He had been drugged.

Over the past three years, this happened often, and I had grown used to it. I had almost forgotten that Nora was still by his side.

I mechanically grabbed some warm water and the antidote.

As soon as I opened the door, rain poured down in torrents, and the wind nearly knocked me off my feet.

I got into the car and started driving. The night was so dark, I couldn't see the road ahead.

I only knew I was about a few dozen meters away. I could see Aaron, with Nora supporting him.

He glanced in the direction of my car, and then turned back to kiss Nora on the lips.

They entered the house together.

Did he call me here just to see this?

I didn't know how to feel—only that my heart was drowning in something cold.

Yes, what difference did it make if I came?

I was always his canary, kept in the shadows. A single tear slid down my cheek.

At this moment, my heart was truly shattered.
