Chapter 32

Before leaving my apartment, he said over his right shoulder, “You know how to reach me.”

I did, and would, someday.

“I’ll give your apartment key back if you want it.”

I shook my head. “There's no need to do that.”

He also had the key to my heart, didn’t he? Did I want that back? I really wasn’t sure.

“Don’t fall in love with anyone else in the meantime, Benry. My heart belongs to you and you know it. All of it. I'll wait for you, just as I have waited for years now. I'm not going anywhere. I'm yours, whenever you want me.” He tapped his chest with a fist and smiled. Tears were still falling out of his eyes, though. The guy was crying for me, and only for me, which sort of blew me away and left me more confused.

A smile formed on my face because of his statements and I didn’t know how to respond to him. In truth, I simply nodded, escorted him out of the apartment, and closed the door behind him, having no idea when I would see him next, if ever. 29: Sunrise Coffee Palace
