Chapter 65
When she told me I hate you…
I knew exactly what she meant.
She was just afraid of saying it.
And to be truthful, I didn’t want to say it, either.
Not because I was afraid of saying the words…
But because I was afraid of what her reaction might be.
She’d told me how she’d run away from relationships in the past. It made sense, given her parents’ deaths.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
If she never got close to anyone… then she didn’t have to lose them.
So I didn’t say what I really wanted to say… which was, I love you.
She didn’t want to say I love you for whatever reasons she had…
And I didn’t say it because I didn’t want to scare her away.
So we said it with our actions. With our bodies.
And Lucia said it with her tone of voice whenever she whispered, I hate you.
In retrospect, I wish I’d taken the leap and said I love you when I had the chance…
Because just a few days later, that chance was gone.
