I shoved him aside, my face contorted with contempt. "You've gotten fat. Your stomach's flabby, you've lost your abs, and your face is always oily. Your eyes look smaller too. I'm not attracted to you anymore. I can't continue this."

"What else could it have been? Your personality? Your wealth?" I threw him a scornful look.

From that point on, I refused any physical contact with him. I stopped preparing his healthy meals, ceased doing his laundry, and spent my evenings out with Enzo until late. It turns out, socializing with younger people broadens your horizons—I had no idea our city had so many exciting places I'd never been to.

Whenever Lester tried to argue, I dismissed him with icy sarcasm. When he attempted to win me over with an embrace, I'd pinch my nose and complain about his odor.
