My boss must know that I was eating the customer's leftovers, but he didn't say anything about it.
He took pity on me. I was twenty-one, uneducated, five feet three inches tall, and only 88 pounds. All in all, I looked like I was still a high school student.
My boss would also give me some leftovers, but I never took them home as I knew Benjamin would despise them.
In fact, I knew he more or less despised me.
In the steakhouse, I often heard couples accompanying each other to class at university, but Benjamin never once allowed me to follow him to class.
He never introduced me to his classmates, either.
I must be crazy. Why was I thinking so much?
I liked Benjamin. It didn't matter if he liked me back as long as I was by his side.
I was willing to bear the hardships and make sacrifices for him.
I assumed our simple lives would continue for a long time. Benjamin had promised to marry me once he graduated.
