Sienna felt a heavy sadness in her heart, making her feel a bit suffocated. Seeing that it was already 10:30 pm, she didn''t want to worry Shelly, so she reluctantly gathered her things and left. Before heading home, she sent a message to Daniel.


    "Daniel, I made dinner for you, but you didn''te back to eat it. If you''re hungry when you get home tonight, just heat it and have it as ate-night snack. I''m heading home now. Let''s meet when you''re free." Sienna rode her electric scooter home. When she got back, Daniel still hadn''t replied to her.


    She felt a bit hurt. But she consoled herself by reminding herself to understand he was just busy with his work.


    Two weeks flew by. Daniel hadn''t reached out to Sienna, nor had hee to see her.


    She often sent him messages, and although he asionally replied, it was usually just to say he was busy before ending the conversation.


    Sienna also tried calling him, but he always cut the calls short, iming he was swamped with work. She couldn''t figure out what she had done wrong. It felt like Daniel didn''t love her as much as he used to. Every day, she muddled through, swinging between hope and despair, weighed down by her overthinking.


    On the 20th day, Daniel finally called her.


    When Sienna saw his phone lit up with his name, her heart jumped with joy. She answered excitedly and spoke in a soft voice, "Daniel, you finally called. Are you done with work?"


    Daniel''s voice sounded bitter as he replied, "I''m done. Sisi, I''m sorry. These past weeks, I—"


    Sienna''s smile faded, and she quickly interrupted, "It''s okay. I know you''re busy with work. I wasn''t ming you. I just really missed you."


    "Sisi, let''s meet," Daniel said.


    "Sure, when and where?"


    "Come to my ce. Just let me know before you arrive."

    It was a sunny day without a cloud in sight. Sienna headed out happily to meet Daniel.


    Daniel stood waiting for her at his front door.


    After Sienna parked her electric scooter, she removed her helmet locked up her scooter, and rushed over to Daniel. Her arms were open for a hug, and she had a big smile on her face.


    As Sienna was about to reach Daniel, he turned away without much interest and headed inside after pushing the door open. Sienna''s steps faltered, and she stood rooted to the spot. Her heart sank, feeling a deep sense of emptiness and loss.


    "Come in." Daniel''s voice came from the living room.


    Sienna lowered her hands, let out a deep sigh, and entered.


    Daniel was sitting on the couch while waiting for her.


    A wave of sadness washed over her as she settled onto the couch across from him.
