Colin furrowed his brows in thought for a moment. Then, he took my hand and led me out of the garden.
"No matter what happens, I won't violate my principles. I know what to do. So, leave everything to me. Don't worry."
After a while, Xavier bounced over to us again and said that the present Colin gave him could only represent Colin. So, I had to give him a separate present.
Using his height and strength as an advantage, Colin pushed Xavier's head away. He said that he and I were a couple, so there was no need for me to give Xavier a separate present. Then, he told Xavier to stop daydreaming and to get lost.
But Xavier started jumping around like a monkey again. He was just like a little kid throwing a tantrum at me.
After the party, Colin and I said goodbye to the professor and his wife. We planned to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities before heading home.
November in Jinovy was quite cold. We had to wear windbreakers or wool coats although I preferred a warm and comfortable hoodie.
After leaving the supermarket and putting the groceries in the car, Colin took me to a nearby shopping mall to pick out some hoodies.
Just as we started walking, we saw a couple about 50 feet away from us. They were engaged in a heated argument.
The man seemed to want to hold the woman, but the woman seemed to be drunk and was hitting the man uncontrollably while sobbing.
As we were quite far from them, I couldn't really hear what they were saying. I just knew it was something about him not loving her anymore and lying to her.
When we walked closer, the man finally managed to hug the woman tightly in his arms.
She calmed down immediately like a docile rabbit, sobbing softly into the man's arms.
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. The look in his eyes beneath his glasses softened.
As they separated, the man happened to turn toward me.
It was him!
