No one can promise that feelings will never change. Even when things seem to have an ending, the result may still disappoint.
So what matters most is how you feel right now.
“Do what feels right to you right now,” Dawn said. “Then you won’t have regrets.”
Dawn took a small sip of her drink and looked at Anna with quiet concern. “Anna, never morize the road you didn’t take. The path you chose is the best one for you.”
Anna lifted her head. Her eyes were red, filled with tears that looked ready to spill.
“No matter what I choose,” she asked softly, “you’ll always support me, right?”
“Of course.”
Dawn reached out and gently touched her hair. Her voice was low and warm. “Your happinesses first.”
Anna finally lost control. She tilted her head back, trying hard not to cry. After a long moment, she calmed down.
She sniffed and said in a muffled voice, “I’ve decided to break up with him. It’s not like I can’t live without a man. Why do I have to stay with anyone?”
Some things don’t need <i>to </i>be tested. If you already know the ending would end up badly, there’s no need to force yourself through <ol><li>it. </li></ol>
“Okay,” Dawn said. “I’ll be your most loyal listener.”
Anna kept talking, rambling as she drank. She listed Leon’s faults one by one. “Tell me,” she said, “isn’t he just unforgivable?”
“Yes,” Dawn replied.
No matter what Anna said, she agreed with her.
But deep down, Dawn knew the truth. Anna hadn’t fully let go.
When someone truly lets go, it’s usually quiet. If you’re still angry, still arguing, it means you’re still hoping for a different answer.
Even if that answer is only a wish you’re making for yourself.
Anna had been cursing loudly at first. But the more she drank, the softer her voice became
In the end, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She copsed onto the table and cried quietly
Dawn watched her aching shoulders. She didn’t interrupt she just stayed beside her
After a long while, Anna suddenly lifted her head. Her eyes were blurred by alcohol. “Dawn,” she asked, “am I weak? People online say modern women don’t need love. But I don’t think I can do that.”
<b>“</b>You already said it,” Dawn replied with a small smile. “That’s online,”

“Anna, wanting love isn’t something to be ashamed of,” she said. “People who shout that they don’t need love are either lying to themselves because they want it too much, or they’ve been hurt badly and closed their hearts.”
“What about me?”
“You…” Dawn squeezed her hand. “You’re a brave girl.”
These words were not only for Anna but also for herself. “We just need to try our best in love. Even if the ending isn’t good, it doesn’t define us. We always have the right to love and to be loved.”
As she finished speaking, Dawn looked up.
Behind Anna stood a tall man. No one knew how long he had been there.
The bar was loud. He probably hadn’t heard what she said. Still, his eyes were cold as they were fixated on Dawn.
Just then, the music stopped.
Dawn smiled lightly. “Mr. Graves.”
She gently squeezed Anna’s hand and continued, “Whether you can take Anna away tonight depends on whether you can move her. If they can’t, I’m sorry.”
The man wore a dark gray suit. His presence stood out sharply in the bar.
Almost instantly, people around them began whispering, guessing what kind of drama was unfolding.
He stood still, not looking anywhere else.
His eyes cut through the shing lights andnded on Anna.
After a moment, he let out a shortugh.
“Ms. Porter,<i>” </i>he said, “do you really think you can stop me?”
“I can’t,” Dawn replied calmly. “But i’ve heard this bar’s security serves its guests without question. Mr. Graves, would you like to experience their enthusiasm?”
The curve of Leon’s smile deepened. It was hard to tell if it was mockery or something else.
Just as the tension peaked, the drunk Anna suddenly reached out.
“Dawn…”
She grabbed her arm and spoke softly. “Don’t argue with him. I’ll leave.”
Anna needs to face the music. She couldn’t drag Dawn into her mess.
Avoiding it for now wouldn’t help anyway.
Dawn frowned and called out worriedly, “Anna…”

“It’s fine.”
Anna forced a smile and squeezed her hand. “He’s scary sometimes, but he’s not going to eat me. Don’t worry.”
Leon fell silent.
What <i>was </i>he supposed to be<i>–</i><i>a </i><i>monster</i><i>? </i>
Dawn shot him a guarded look and said coldly, “I know Mr. Graves isn’t the type to bully women. But if Anna leaves with you and I don’t hear from her tomorrow…”
“You think I’m a trafficker?”
Leon’s brow furrowed deeply. His voice turned icy. “You’re right about this. I don’t bully women, especially mine.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and lifted Anna over his shoulder.
