Mrs. Brightwood hurled accusations one after another, but Mr. Brightwood, as the father, remained silent. He felt powerless regarding his son's relationship issues. Arguments between couples were normal, but breaking up was a big deal. If a relationship truly couldn't continue, it was better to encourage separation rather than reconciliation. He just hoped for an amicable parting and that his son could quickly recover from the heartbreak without disappearing by turning off his phone.
"If anything happens to my son, she must take full responsibility!" Mrs. Brightwood had already torn down all pretense, her anger palpable. "This unfaithful woman! How could she betray our kindness!"
As the sky darkened and stars began to dot the horizon, a bright moon shone down.
In the apartment, Spencer stood outside Summer's closed door. The sharpness of youth had softened in him; his thin lips were cold and stern like a chiseled blade, but his eyes held unprecedented complexity and deep affection.
Was she inside? What was she doing? What was she thinking? Would there be a moment when she thought of him too? When she remembered him, were her memories sweet or painful? Or were they indifferent or regretful?
Spencer stood alone outside the door, desperately wanting to knock. He longed to see her, even from a distance, just to ease the love and longing that weighed heavily on his heart. This intense love and yearning disturbed his thoughts and left him restless.
As he raised his hand to knock, he recalled his brother's advice: give her some time and space in moments like these. So the hand he had finally mustered the courage to lift silently dropped back down.
Inside the brightly lit room, Agnes realized her sister hadn't eaten dinner yet. She stood up and volunteered, "I'll go get you something you like to eat. I'll be right back!"
As she walked towards the door and opened it, she unexpectedly found Spencer standing outside alone.
