Melody hadn't even had the chance to leave anything behind or hold on to anything, and it had already blown away by the wind.
Yet, she didn't have time to feel sorry for herself. After all, there were still many things she needed to do.
Melody tore her gaze away and closed her eyes for a moment. Then, she headed upstairs.
She had to move all her things out before Jeremy came back. She didn't want to leave any hope for herself. The fact that Jeremy didn't like her was the reality, and there was no need to force anything that wasn't there.
However, when Melody got home, she found that the door was unlocked.
She paused for a moment, thinking that it was because she had left in such a hurry last night, so she had forgotten to lock the door. Now, she was a bit worried that Echo might have run out.
But as soon as she walked past the entryway, she saw Jeremy. He was sitting on the couch, still wearing the clothes from last night—but the top two buttons of his shirt were undone.
He expressionlessly looked at her.
Melody paused. Then, she noticed his phone on the couch beside him.
No one spoke. It was as if there was a tacit understanding in the silence.
Melody didn't look directly at Jeremy. Her emotions, which she had managed to calm down, surged again the moment she saw him.
Her heart felt like it had been filled with acid, sour and swollen to the point of numbness. She lowered her head, paused, and then hoarsely said, "You saw the message I sent, right? I've found a place, and I'm moving out now.
"You probably won't like Echo, so I'll take it with me." After she said that, she turned and went to the bedroom.
Melody hadn't noticed this before, but as she packed up, she realized that she didn't have much stuff at Jeremy's place. Since everything was stored in her small guest room, it didn't take long to pack everything up either. A 26-inch suitcase was enough to hold everything.
As she looked at the room that was almost completely devoid of her traces, she had to admit that she had
always just been a guest at Jeremy's place.
She wasn't even a very liked guest either.
It was her own fault for being so self-assured and thinking of this place as her home.
