Greg was absentmindedly flicking a lighter, his usually stoic face showing no emotion as he muttered, “I don’t

After all, this place had memories of me, the one who left him. It would only bring back pain.
Christine nodded, driving off.
On the road, she furrowed her brows, “Was the woman who answered young, pretty?”
“Pretty, and about our age, | guess?”
“Did you ever think she could be Greg's girlfriend or something like that?”
