Hearing the indifference in her tone, Dylan's heart ached even more. "Suzy, I-" "I'm tired," she interrupted, cutting him off before he could continue. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." Dylan's words faltered the chance to explain slipping away.
She knew exactly what he wanted to say, but there was no point in letting him voice it. Whatever it was, it didn't matter anymore.

The words echoed in Dylan's mind, replaying like a broken record.
He had thought that clearing up the misunderstandings between them would give them another chance. But...

Over the past few days, she had cto fully understand Dylan's cruelty. The experience of being kept alive, teetering on the edge of death, was excruciatingly unbearable. Her eyes darted as she weighed her options.
