She no longer had any reason to assure herself. Neville didn’t love her anymore. He truly intended to break up with her.
She collapsed on the bed and zoned out, staring blankly out the window.
The gentle snowflakes danced from the sky. The chilly air was filled with the festive spirit of Christmas, which was fast approaching.
It was supposed to be her and Neville’s first holiday together.
She’d planned to take Neville on a skiing trip. But now, all her carefully crafted plans burst like a bubble, and the heavy feeling of disappointment lingered.
He’d been ready to give up on their relationship.
The next day, as Stella watched Luka’s performance, she couldn’t help but steal a glance at her phone. Her chat interface was flooded with messages to Miley, who had been unresponsive since last night.
Stella was feeling a bit anxious, wondering how Miley’s discussion with Neville had turned out.

Luka, feeling her intense stare, squirmed uncomfortably. He had psyched himself up for this moment, mustering all his courage to extend this invitation to her.

Snapping out of her daze, Stella couldn’t help but smile wryly. “You do remember I’m married, right?”

Luka’s face twitched slightly, a hint of discomfort showing. “I’m just asking you to accompany me, not to be my girlfriend or anything.”
Stella’s tone turned serious. “No, Luka. I’ll be bringing my husband along.”
