Roger, do you really think you stand a chance? Clara asked in a lowered voice.
Rogers eyes quivered. After a moment of pondering, he said, I really like Rachel, Clara. Whether I stand a chance or not, I wont give up.

Staring at the SIM card on the table, Roger picked up the glass of red wine on the table and drank it up, attempting to drown his sadness in alcohol.
Why did I fail to protect Rachel? he wondered.
