In this very moment, Mark was hit with a profound realization that his longing for her still persisted.
His eyes remained locked on her visage as he softly uttered, “It has been a while, Cecilia.”

She carefully scooped up Alexis, her daughter, and requested the assistance of the trustworthy driver and maid to escort Alexis to kindergarten. Alexis, displaying obedience, planted a kiss on Rena’s cheek and bid her farewell, saying, “Goodbye, Mom!”
Returning the affectionate gesture, Rena reciprocated the kiss and reassured Alexis, “I’ll be there to pick you up in the afternoon, my love.”
Alexis detached herself from Rena’s embrace, firmly clutching the maid’s hand, and obediently proceeded towards school.
As Rena turned around, she discreetly cleared her throat and declared, “I shall prepare some fragrant tea for us.”
Cecilia, somewhat dependent on Rena, grasped her arm and appealed, “Rena.”
Rena offered a gentle smile and responded, “You two carry on with your conversation.”
Mark directed his gaze towards Cecilia, his voice barely above a whisper as he suggested, “Shall we step inside?”
Bowing her head, Cecilia silently complied, entering the house.
But as soon as she crossed the threshold, he firmly grasped her wrist, compelling her into the confines of the bathroom.
The door closed, enclosing them in a small space.
Pressed against the wall, her back against its surface, Cecilia found herself cornered by Mark, who positioned his arm above her head. The faint scent of tobacco emanating from him momentarily distracted her, causing a lapse in her concentration…
A prolonged silence ensued, both parties lost in their own thoughts.

Mark continued to scrutinize her, lowering his voice as he responded, “I waited for you throughout the entire night yesterday.”
Cecilia abruptly met his gaze.
Her eyes welled up with tears, poised to cascade down her cheeks with every blink.
Thus, she dared not blink.
She was determined not to shed tears in his presence. The aftermath of their breakup had inflicted immense suffering upon her and crying in front of him now felt inconsequential.
Mark, too, bore his own hardships.
