I didn't want to continue this topic to avoid unnecessary conflicts. So, I shifted the subject and asked how Flynn was doing and if he would stop disturbing Queenie.
Colin asked, "Why are you so resistant and dissatisfied with Flynn?"
"You can't blame me. He has gone too far. In the guise of love, he deceived and betrayed Queenie. He nearly ruined her."
I angrily wrung my fingers and told Colin of Flynn's heinous deeds. He found it amusing that I got irritated readily.
"Flynn complied with his family's request and scheduled an engagement date with Daniela. I'm not sure if he'll go to Queenie again, but I know he only loves her. No matter who he marries, he'll never forget her."
Colin's voice was low, and he appeared to feel sorry for Flynn. They were roommates and close friends. He never expected things to come to this point. That was why he felt pity for Flynn.
I shrugged it off. Flynn could only prove his true love by giving Queenie a home. What was the point of appearing to be affectionate afterward? He couldn't change anything.
Later, I carefully thought about the meaning of Colin's words. For some reason, I felt that he was attempting to persuade me.
Perhaps he used what happened with Flynn and Queenie to tell me that no matter who he ended up with, the only person he loved was me.
It was just that I couldn't grasp such a profound emotion. How was the so-called love—so nihilistic that it couldn't even be seen or touched—of use if he couldn't even keep his beloved one? If Colin did the same thing as Flynn, I would leave him without looking back.
"Please tell him to stop loving Queenie. Does he think he's still in the Middle Ages? He won't get everyone's blessings if he desires two women at the same time. He slept with Daniela but said he loved Queenie. I won't believe his words. I only find him nasty."
