If not for this call, Dawn would’ve forgotten Sydneypletely. Her eyes turned cold. “Alright. When?”
“Can youe today at 5:00 p.m.?”
“Sure.”
After hanging up, she tightened her grip on her phone. Her clear eyes darkened.
“Dawn?” Ethan waited, but he didn’t see here back inside. He stepped out. “What’s going on?”
… Nothing.”
She shook her head. “I might need to go out.”
He looked into her eyes and immediately understood. “Is it Sydney?”

Since he’d guessed it, Dawn didn’t hide it. “She wants to see me. I don’t know what she’s going to say, but I need to go.”
Some things had to be settled face–to–face.
Maybe Sydney felt the same way.
Okay.”
than didn’t stop her. He squeezed her shoulder and said softly, “No matter what happens, I’m here. Don’t keep it all inside.”
Dawn met his gaze and suddenly hugged him.
Ethan.”
Hmm?”
Thank you,”
he truly meant it.
Vithout him, she often felt like she had nothing to stand on.
Silly” Ethanughed, rubbing her head. “Wives don’t thank their husbands all day Just tell me what to do
So if you mess up, I can yell at you however I want?”
Absolutely.”
Then you’re sleeping in the study tonight. You stole my nketst night I’m still mad
Vatching her leave, Ethan’s eyes showed a bit of helplessness before he smiled.
By the car, Dawn turned back and pointed upstairs.
Check on him. Let me know when I get back”

She worried Austin might keep things from her again, <i>so </i>it was safer to double–check.
On the drive to the detention center, Dawn suddenly remembered something from years ago.
Back then, she was young and full of resentment toward Sydney. But <i>now</i><i>… </i>
She snorted, got out, and walked inside.
“Hello, Ms. Porter.”

The police had everything prepared. An officer waited at the door. “Please wait a moment. We’ll bring Sydney out shortly.”
Dawn nodded. “Thanks.”
“This way, please.”
Inside the meeting room, reflections bounced off the walls. Dawn sat down, her fingers brushing the table. For a moment, it felt like time had gone backward.
<i>Sydney</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>really </i><i>are </i><i>meant </i><i>to </i><i>rot </i><i>like </i>a <i>bug </i><i>in </i>the <i>gutter </i><i>forever</i>.
About 10 minutester, voices sounded outside.
Dawn turned, and their eyes met.
Sydney was so thin that she barely looked human. The cuffs dug into her sharp wrists.
From the moment she walked in, her empty stare never left Dawn.
The officer secured her and left.
The room fell silent.
The silence pressed in, leaving only the sound of their breathing.
Sydney broke first, her voice t. “Funny, isn’t it? Back then, you were thest person I saw. Yearster… still you.”
Dawn looked at her emotionlessly.
“Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. The difference is-
She raised an eyebrow. “You’re still locked up”
She thought that would crush Sydney, but it didn’t. Sydney just pressed her fingers together and smiled. “So what? you think you two are doing better? At least I’m honest with myself I do what I want.”
Looking at that face, Dawn suddenly realized Sydney wasn’t entirely wrong.
Sydney had always chased what she wanted.
If she loved someone, she would go after him.
<b>If </b>she hated someone, she would get revenge.

“But do you know what’s truly sad about you?” Dawn met Sydney’s gaze. “We’re human because we can control ourselves. No matter how badly you want something, you can’t steal what doesn’t belong to you.
“But you had no self–control. You just kept pushing forward. Did <i>you </i>ever think about how much harm you caused?
After speaking, Dawn gave a quietugh.
She was wasting her breath.
If Sydney could listen, she wouldn’t be here.
Sydney stayed silent. Her sunken eyes drifted. After a while, she muttered, “Am I really that awful? He wouldn’t even settle for me. He’d rather wait for you forever…”
“You’re indeed awful.
“But feelings are messy. Still, don’t force someone into something you wouldn’t ept yourself. If settling was all you wanted, why didn’t you settle with someone else?”
Not to mention now.
Sydney used to be radiant. She was confident, sessful, and surrounded by great people.
