บท 132: A facade

He didn't want to accept that she didn't love him. He didn't want to believe that the only person he lived for, the only person who made him smile, made him want to change; made him want to be a better person was… just a facade.

''Thank you for coming by, I don't know what I would have done without you. ''

Tiana smiled as she walked towards her sister.
