The man couldn't help but laugh.
Hailey froze, realizing something was off.
With a light smile, the man said, "But weren't you in the hospital just yesterday? And because you bumped into something yourself?"

Hailey grew increasingly emotional as she spoke, her voice catching. "I've liked you since I was three years old. I waited over ten years for you to return. Finally, you came back… but Natalie beat me to it."
"Do you know how heartbroken I am?"
The man asked indifferently, "How heartbroken?"
