The snow was falling heavily, painting the world in shades of white and gray. Emma wanted to call out to him, to beg him to come back inside where it was warm. But her voice was trapped in her throat, refusing to emerge.
He had confessed his love for her!
After the initial shock had faded, she realized there had been signs all along.
His meticulous care for her, his unwavering support, and that night she had her heart broken, how he'd driven all the way from another city just to hold her. She could even recall the slight tremble in his embrace.
But she had overlooked all those moments.
They had grown up together, after all, and his kindness had always been a constant.
Like a brother, like a father figure - she had taken his affection for granted, thinking it was only natural.
But nothing in life is ever truly guaranteed.
Tears welled up in her eyes again. Why did she feel wronged?
It was he who had suffered in silence all this time!
Suddenly, all her anger and embarrassment vanished. Gazing at his retreating figure, she wished nothing more than for him to return to the warmth of his home.
Standing there, he seemed like a mountain weighing heavily on her heart, making her restless.
She picked up her phone, hesitated, and then put it down - repeating this several times before finally mustering the courage to send him a message.
Through the dark night, she saw Jason's phone screen light up. He paused, then turned to look towards her window.
Emma quickly hid behind the curtains.
After a moment, Jason finally walked away.
Emma let out a sigh of relief, realizing she was still wearing her down jacket, now drenched in sweat from the heat.
