Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 5

The car sped in the dark. As the snow continued to fall, it gradually blurred the car's view.

Inside, Brian's lips compressed with his brows closely knitted. The atmosphere in the car was gloomy as if a heavy storm was coming.

"Pull over!"

Brian ordered suddenly in a low but evidently angry tone.

Tony glanced at him in the rear-view mirror. Though quite confused, he slowed down and pulled over anyway.

Brian got out of the car, stood beside the fence on the highway, and looked ahead. His eyes gazed straight towards the direction of the airport in City A.

The wind was dancing as it played with his unruly hair, revealing his brooding black eyes, which were very much like shining agates.

The snow was coming down heavily as snowflakes whirled in the dark sky like a myriad of feathers.

It was unbearable to be outdoors especially at night in that cold winter but Brian stood still as a statue in the freezing weather as if he was numb to the cold at all. Looking at the snow that fell on Brian's shoulders, Tony kept silent. He knew that there's nothing he could do to help Brian.

The sound of an incoming text message from Brian's mobile phone broke the silence of the night and caught his attention.

He lowered his head and took out his phone to check the message. It said:

'Love will never be my priority. So...I'm sorry but I have to say goodbye to you now. Forget me, my darling. Your Becky '

Staring at the words, Brian smiled wryly. His eyes were transfixed on the words as if through the phone he could see the expression on her face as she was saying those words.

Brian clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and then closed his eyes slightly. He looked devastated as clouds of depression and heaviness surrounded him.

After a while, he finally released his grip on the phone. The gloominess over his handsome face gradually dissipated and it shifted into a blank expression, devoid of any sign of emotion.

He took a quick glance at the direction of the airport before turning around silently and said," Let's go."

"Okay," answered Tony without hesitation. He tried to read Brian's reflection from the rear-view mirror, only to see his cold dark eyes. He then started the engine and drove back to the city.

It was getting late. The heavy snowfall seemed to never stop, and the roadside had accumulated at least ten centimeters of snow already.
