Larry was injured. He was struck by a vase, courtesy of Cecilia.
“I wasn’t thinking of hurting you,” Larry said. He just didn’t understand. Why did women reject him the more he tried to be nicer to them? “Can’t you feel that I’m trying to treat you well?”
He invited her to his house, and even whipped up a meal for her. He was even trying to decorate her room for her based on her tastes and preferences.
All he wanted was for their relationship to progress a step further.
“Since you’re hanging out with me and have feelings for me, is there a difference whether we get together today or tomorrow?”
Larry didn’t understand. The wound on his hand was gaping.
He found an iodine solution, and disinfected his wound. He waited for the pain on his finger to subside before looking at Cecilia. “Don’t try to injure me again.”
It seemed he wasn’t intending to harm her. Even the violent urges she saw in his eyes vanished after she smashed him with the vase.
However, she was still afraid. She tried to open her mouth, and realized that her throat was trembling from the turn of events.
She finally composed herself, and managed to pull herself together.
“There is a difference, Larry. Just because we hang out, doesn’t mean we must get together. We’re spending time together to figure out whether we should be together or not,” she said.
She had eliminated Larry from her consideration. It was a complete and utter elimination.
However, she didn’t tell him that.
She looked hopelessly at the locked door. That elimination would only be effective if she managed to make it out of this place safely today.
But…
She looked at her phone, which Larry confiscated had and placed on top of the cabinet.
Cecilia shook her head, desperation filling her eyes.
She didn’t have the time to think things through when she was in a panic just now. Now that she thought about it, had she seized the chance to call her family members instead, she might have a chance of getting rescued.
