Chapter 4

I finally got a cab.

Watching the city’s neon lights blur past, I suddenly realized that I’d become numb to Nadia.

The biggest fights between me and Cole were always about her.

But lately, it’d been calm for months.

I didn’t know when it started, but I stopped minding Nadia’s presence.

Like today, I could calmly accept Cole’s sudden departure.

Even seeing that social media post didn’t stir much emotion.

Is this what moving on feels like?

I picked up my phone and sent a message to Cole.

[I don’t want to be sensible anymore. Cole, let’s break up.]

He didn’t reply by the time I got off the cab.

I scoffed to myself.

Of course, with Nadia by his side, he wouldn’t have the bandwidth to respond to me.
