At Aria's funeral, Leo had only said one thing to her: "Let's just take a break for now."
She didn't understand what that meant.
Nor did she know just how long "for now" would be.
But she knew one thing for certain: after that day, they lost all contact. Not long after, she heard he had gone to Noridia to clear his head.
When she heard the news, she wasn't particularly shocked. It felt as if things were unfolding just as they should.
The winter break ended quickly. After discussing it with her brother and sister-in-law, she decided to apply to study in Country M.
She didn't tell her parents about this decision. Instead, two days before the new semester began, she had Ian Shaw drive her away.
「Meanwhile.」
「In a teahouse in Noridia.」
Amelia Avery looked at the man staring blankly across from her. She sighed, her brow furrowed, and said, "Leo, just how long are you going to keep hiding? Don't tell me you actually want to break up with Tiana."
