Draven glanced at Bria and Kaleb, but he usually didn't interfere in their business. He simply held Ayla's hand.
Ayla, of course, hoped Kaleb and Bria could get along better. She hadn't seen Kaleb in a long time, so she pulled him aside to chat.
Bria's relationship with Draven had improved a lot, but she still couldn't really deal with him, so she said she was in Aqualith with friends and was about to go meet them.
Draven didn't press her.
After playing the part of a sister with Draven for a few minutes, Bria slipped away and finally let out a breath. Then she found a nearby café, ordered a coffee, and texted Kaleb, telling him to come find her after he finished talking, along with the address.
Bria waited at the café for half an hour, but Kaleb didn't reply.
After an hour, she didn't even need to check anymore. She already knew Kaleb had probably left.
Bria tightened her grip on her phone.
Even at the half-hour mark, she had already guessed it. She knew Kaleb probably wouldn't come back.
If she rushed over to find him, it would be too easy for Ayla and Draven to notice something off, so she had no choice but to stay put.
Or maybe she was just stubbornly competing with herself, hoping for a miracle, hoping Kaleb would actually come back to find her.
If he did, then she'd know he didn't hate her that much, that there was still a chance to fix things.
Bria was strong-willed, proactive, and ruthless when she needed to be, with a powerful mindset that didn't fear rejection. But if everything was just one-sided force, it wasn't what she truly wanted. She wanted a response from Kaleb too.
Or to put it more bluntly, Bria really liked Kaleb. She genuinely wanted to date him properly. Deep down, she might be flawed and selfish, but she still longed for warmth and love.
Bria was sharp and quick to understand things. Even a small setback could lead her to figure out something deeper.
She had always thought love was meaningless. But after Shirley and Kaleb grew disappointed in her and walked away, she came to realize something else. Even if love was unreliable, just a chemical reaction, humans weren't advanced enough to live purely on logic. When faced with something real and beautiful, no one could truly resist it.
That was why when Shirley and Kaleb tried to leave her, she felt an overwhelming panic and urgency, and her emotions collapsed completely.
This was nothing like before.
In the past, Bria didn't care about anyone. Whether people left her or hated her, it didn't matter.

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
