Melissa didn’t know why she was so insistent on returning the money to Marcus. Would repaying him ease her conscience? At least, she hoped it make her seem less like a deceiver.
That night in the attic wouldn't seem as unbearable if she could pay back her debt.
Later that night, an exhausted Melissa sat on a bench by the bus stop.
The night bus came every 3 minutes.
In the cool, rainy night, she tightly hugged herself, concealing her form in the shadows... She tried to numb herself and think happy thoughts, shoving that image of that person to the back of her mind.
But more painful than exhaustion was the longing.
She smiled bitterly. How dare she pine for Marcus when they were the most unlikely pair in the world?
