Allison was stunned by his actions. Then she felt his words pierced her heart directly.
He was right. He was not her boyfriend.
But why exactly did she feel concerned about him?
She took a few steps back, and he turned his gaze away from her. His eyes were cold enough to freeze anything by just glancing at it.
He began to smoke again. She did not say anything. She walked to the wall close to them and stood against it.
She only gazed at him while he was smoking. They were both silent.
She looked at the sky. Even the sky was dark. The back alley did not have any moonlight to illuminate it. They were just standing there in the darkness. Only the street light was there, a little far from them to let them see each other's faces.
She wanted to break the silence, so she spoke out,
"Ryan, let's talk."
He did not reply to her. He gave her the silent treatment.
