As soon as she got in, Claire laid her head against the car seat and found a secure spot for her to let go of whatever she had been holding back for a very long time. Emotion? Awkward? Flustered? Afraid? Worried? For roughly the last two hours, Claire had to struggle with her mind since everything was so dreadfully messed up in her head. Grateful that Claire made it through it today despite having struggled mightily to survive for the past two years since accepting the role she currently holds. Of course, there are days and times when Claire fails and loses, not just once or twice, but tens or even more than hundreds of times. Because of all the bad thoughts that she could not overcome at those times, Claire had to end up imprisoned in the hospital like yesterday. Specific time. Elise, who is seated in front of the steering wheel, has a worried expression on her face, indicating that she is aware of what her boss has been through. She must constantly be aware of her surroundings due t

A Sunday would be silent after the hundredth shout. Who's to blame? It's even expected that uninvited guests will show up. Claire did her best to pretend to be deaf, to keep her emotions in check so they wouldn't explode, or even to be strong enough to rudely eject her guest in the event of a severe occurrence. Even while her actions did not suggest that they had the right to accept that, Claire was, sadly, nevertheless able to maintain control and realize that she was dealing with elderly people, who were deserving of respect."You have no idea who or what you are, Clare!"Claire closed her eyes at the incoming loud noise that felt like it would burst her eardrums, which made her mood worse even after the arrival of these uninvited guests.All right, take a breath in and a breath out. It was accurate to say that since Claire's parents passed away, her uncle and aunt had been looking after her. But it should be noted that the incident happened when Claire was in her teens, just before

"Who?"While Claire was already breathing out and closing her eyes, Diaz was swallowing a lot of saliva in response to that query.It won't ever be simple again."You claimed to be Claire's buddy previously. So why did Marge claim that you would be her husband? Which one is correct?""Grandpa..." Claire began speaking "Auntie simply misunderstood at the moment, and despite explanations, it appears that Aunt has forgotten. Grandpa, don't push Diaz like that. There is no relationship between us. How can he be my future husband? It's just a misunderstanding."Basically, Claire didn't want to speak on something that she didn't consider to be crucial. When Elise told Claire about the miscommunication with Diaz's appearance in front of her uncle and aunt the previous day, Claire assumed that all was resolved and that nothing else needed to be spoken or addressed in front of Grandma and Grandpa. Everything felt purposeful, and the entry of her maternal aunt added to the sense that things wer

After seeing Claire again later that day, Diaz finally got a clear picture of the most obstinate person he had ever seen. It was the first time Diaz saw Claire let down her guard after finding her in her darkest state in two meetings and two unscheduled meetings that also allowed her to see the other side of the woman. No matter how many personas Claire wore to hide her actual personality, or how many layers of defense Claire had put on herself, that day left Diaz feeling both relieved and concerned.Diaz felt both relieved that the woman had at least taken off one layer of her mask and defense and terrified that her body might be considerably more damaged than he dared to think.Diaz noticed the wound on her face, the intense, unresolved anguish that could be seen in her eyes, and the terror that appeared to be eroding the thin physique below her admonishment-seeking attitude.It seemed as though the woman's chest was being squeezed by a huge weight that made it impossible for her to

The car came to a stop directly in front of the white gate around the artistic house Diaz had just visited the day before. Since Claire's sarcastic statement, which now made Diaz feel bad, they were still in silence. Claire stated that she could understand Diaz's thoughts, but they still ended up possessing one another. Diaz, who had lost confidence, and Claire, who was unsure whether to speak again, restarted the conversation.Without saying a word, Claire took off her seatbelt and stepped out of the car to open the gate to her home. From inside the car, Diaz saw the woman and glared at the error she had made. If it were possible, he would just like to retract his words so that Claire wouldn't assume Diaz found her behavior odd given her regular disposition.As soon as Claire widened the fence, the car moved to make place for her black SUV, which gradually filled the yard. The woman stayed until the car's engine died and the person who had driven her to this house left."Thanks." Cl
