"I am sorry, it's just… I didn't know where to go." Letting out a gentle breath.

"It's okay. I can almost guess how you feel right now. We both lost someone very dear to us." Although she lost two.

"Like… when I found her dead, I… I couldn't think straight. I felt…"

"...lost." They said in unison.

"Yes…" Ezekiel sent his gaze directly at her understanding eyes. For the first time after Junmi's death, he felt a little comfort.

"To be honest, this is the first time I am losing someone close to me. I have never experienced this before."

Shola nodded her head, "My first was a young boy, probably eight or nine months ago… actually he was my boyfriend's younger brother... Umm my ex-boyfriend."

"Oh I am sorry to hear that."
