Suddenly, Alexis found herself pinned on the sofa by Leonel.
His face hovered close to her neck, his voice hoarse and pained. “Alexis,
I’ve wronged you over the years! But can’t you give me another chance? I’ve lost everything! I never loved her, truly!”
“But you thought you could fall for her!”
Alexis spoke calmly. “Leonel, discussing this serves no purpose. Be direct, like you used to be. No one dies from a breakup. You’ve lived well these past 8 years. And you should keep doing so. Why continue this torment?”

His kisses were fervent, his tongue relentless.
His hand moved under her clothes, caressing her, trying to rekindle something. Yet, she was unmoved.
Alexis was sweating, and she looked away.
“Leonel, intimacy changes nothing. I don’t like you anymore!”
Finally, she freed herself, went into the bedroom to get ready for work, and left the apartment.

Leonel lingered in the apartment, hopeful. He purchased an array of groceries and prepared her favorite Thai, Italian, and French dishes…
Yet, Alexis never came back.
She relinquished her home just to avoid him.
At last, Leonel grasped the gravity of her words!
On the fourth dawn, he messaged her. “I’m leaving. You should return.”
Coat in hand, he returned to his own place.
