I didn’t know how much of a stir my "Goodbye" caused on Ted's side.
All I knew was that after my plane landed, I saw a long list of missed calls from unfamiliar numbers and a series of messages.
"Where did you go?"
"Alice, answer me. Damien said you went traveling, but why didn’t you tell me anything?"
"Why is the house empty? You said you were going traveling, but did you leave?"
"Alice, come back. We need to talk."
"Do you remember you said that lovers need to communicate? No matter what happens, we should talk things through, not keep it bottled up inside."
"Please reply to me, let’s talk about it, okay?"
…
Looking at these messages, I almost laughed through my tears.
I ignored them and turned my phone to silent.
When I walked out of the airport, I immediately saw my aunt holding a sign.
When she saw me, she hurried over with her waist twisting.
"Darling, you’ve lost weight."
