บท 245: Chapter 245

INT. - CICI'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Ray stood outside Cici's door. She'd been there for five minutes, hovering. Hand lifting, dropping to her side. She knew, knew in her heart she had to end it with her lover.

She just couldn't bring herself to knock.

Someone approached from the hall behind her, breaking Ray out of her stillness. She glanced over her shoulder at the handsome man who reminded her of Cici as her fist rapped on the door.

"You must be Rachel," he said.

She'd never seen him before, but Cici had mentioned him enough times, she could guess. "And you're Wind," she said as footfalls approached from within and her lover opened the door.

Cici's expression started out hard and cold, and Ray dreaded what would come next. But, the frigidity she despised, the hurt it caused, vanished as the gorgeous woman she loved drew a breath and suddenly broke down into sobs so deep and painful Ray lunged forward to support her before Cici could collapse in the doorway.
