Pearl froze.
Tanner hugged her tightly and lowered his head. He pressed his lips on the top of her head and said in a soft voice, “You‘ve become thinner.”

by his side again?
Countless thoughts flitted across his mind, but he was scared when he saw her.
He was afraid of her rejection. He was afraid that she would hate him.
Pearl stayed frozen stiff in his arms for a long while. She pressed her lips thin and
pulled his arms away.
“Tanner,” she said without turning her head back, “What are you doing here? There‘s no way we can return to how things were.”

“Not anymore.” Pearl turned around to look at him. She forced herself to stay calm and said, “I‘ve already let go of everything between us.”

She was stunned for a moment, but she swiftly regained herself. “That‘s impossible, Tanner. For you; I‘m a blemish in your relationship. You and Sandy would have had a happy
He pulled her into his arms and stroked her cheek
with his palm. His breathing was becoming heavier as he said, “Pearl, I‘m a jack*ss. By the time I realized how wrong I was, I had lost you. I‘ve been living in guilt for the
past three years, and there hasn‘t been a day that goes by without me thinking about you.”

“But you aren‘t married yet.” Tanner‘s finger stopped on her lips. “You haven‘t been seeing any men for the past three years, and if you got
pregnant that year, your kid should be this big already, right?’
Pearl‘s heart skipped a beat, and she pushed him away. “Tanner!
Tanner took a step back. He looked at her but did not say anything.
Pearl turned around and said, “The kid isn‘t related to you. Don‘t come back to me anymore.”

Tanner was standing in the rain. He refused to go away despite being wet thoroughly.
Pearl turned away from looking. She was going to pay him no mind, but she did not know why she just couldn‘t do it.
She grabbed an umbrella and went outside. She
placed the umbrella on top of him. Water droplets were dangling on his eyelashes. His face was pale as the rain slid down his head, and his shirt was wet to the skin.
Pearl couldn‘t help herself anymore and shouted, “What the hell are you thinking? I already asked you to leave. Why are you not leaving?”
Tanner smiled. “I‘m not leaving.”
Pearl felt something had stung her heart. She leaned the umbrella toward Tanner, allowing the rain to wet her shirt.
“Do you think you do this… Her eyes turned red, “And I‘ll forgive you? Tanner, I won‘t forgive you. I‘ll never forgive you!”
Tanner stretched his arms forward and pulled her into his embrace. “I don‘t need your forgiveness.”
He chuckled and added, “I just want to stay by your side.”
A tear fell from the corner of Pearl‘s eyes, and she began to sob silently. Suddenly, she felt something fall on her, and Tanner slid down her body.
