She couldn’t do it.
Mia Ginger took out her phone, hoping to see the photo of the two of them together, only to find the album completely empty.
Then she rembered—
She had gotten a new phone.
The only photo of the two of them was gone too.
Feeling helpless, she held the phone and looked into the distance, recalling the furious Koa Jackson from the morning.
Perhaps because she had seen it happen before, the mont she saw his pale face, she felt scared and didn’t know what to do.
What about Brother Jackson?
He was angry because he saw Louis Cox.
She was close to Louis Cox and he had hugged her briefly.
Thinking about it, Mia Ginger was stunned.
Yes, she felt utterly heartbroken at the thought of Koa Jackson possibly going on dates with others, jealous and pained when Lilian and others talked to him, and minded him having als with female colleagues...
But what about herself?
She let Louis Cox pull her into a hug right in front of him.
And not just once.
Soone as proud as him would certainly feel that he couldn’t stand it, right?
Which is why he told her to cut ties with Louis Cox.
Just like she would.
She also hoped Koa Jackson would keep a distance from all won, especially those who had intentions towards him.
She had known Louis Cox for years and was sowhat used to his habit of hugging her frequently, but she overlooked how intimate such an act originally was.
She belonged to Brother Jackson, how could she be embraced by another man?
Therefore—
He was actually right to be angry, wasn’t he?
Mia Ginger sat on the steps for a long ti, and eventually, she convinced herself.
She should apologize.
No matter what, in this matter, she really should apologize to Koa Jackson.
It’s her fault.
Having figured this out, it was already dark outside.
The phone in her hand rang at the right mont; it was Windsor Myres.
Asking her out for dinner.
Mia Ginger thought for a bit, then smiled and said she had already eaten at the school gate, suggesting Windsor Myres and Camden River go together.
The two had just reconciled in the afternoon, and it was different from before, now they were in the most intimate phase. She didn’t want to disturb them, didn’t want to hinder their closeness, nor did she want Windsor Myres to have to consider her feelings and not be able to be free-spirited.
Soone like her in love acts recklessly, unlike Mia, who is mostly cautious.
Mia Ginger hung up the phone.
Thinking for a bit, she stood up and called Koa Jackson.
Three consecutive calls, all without an answer.
She froze for a mont, temporarily deciding not to call to apologize.
She went down the steps and started running.
Lap after lap, she ran five full laps, two thousand ters.
Sweating profusely, she started to walk slowly.
As she walked, she looked up at the sky, past the dim light enveloping the track above, to see a few stars.
Her heart felt empty yet peaceful, and she stopped walking, lying on the grass to gaze at the sky.
After a long ti, feeling cold, she got up, patted her pants, and headed back.
——
Half past nine.
Mia Ginger arrived at the dorm.
Windsor Myres wasn’t there, Blair Chester and Wren King weren’t there either, only Mina Lee and Tong Tong were online in the dorm.
Seeing her return, they greeted her with smiles.
Mia Ginger returned the smile, packed her things, and went downstairs to take a shower.
When she returned, it was already half past ten.
Windsor Myres and the other two were still not there; she tidied up a bit and climbed into bed to sleep.
She was sleeping deeply, vaguely feeling her shoulder ache.
Windsor Myres had pinched her slightly.
