Nathaniel paused, brows furrowing. “Genny, what are you talking about? The thing with Lainey will end in a month. I’m just pretending to be her boyfriend.” He reached out a hand to touch Genevieve’s face. “You’re the one I love.”

Genevieve tilted her head, dodging his hand. She pulled the quilt up and lay down. “I need to rest.”

Nathaniel’s hand poised in the air. After a while, he sighed and walked out.

As the door closed, Genevieve opened her eyes, tears falling down her cheeks soundlessly.

She used her last strength to get out of bed and dragged a dusty box out from the deep end of her closet.

Genevieve stayed up all night to reorganize her trinkets with Nathaniel.

The movie tickets on their first date. Gifts from Nathaniel. Photos they took on trips..

At dawn, Genevieve lit a brazier in the backyard.

“What are you doing?!”

Elaine ran over and gave Genevieve a hard shove.

The brazier tumbled over. Sparks of the burning coals landed on Genevieve’s arms, leaving red marks on her fair skin.

Genevieve winced in pain. Before she could recover, Elaine lunged at her. “If you don’t want me to move in, just say the words. Why are you burning my stuff?”

“What’s going on?” The noise attracted Nathaniel. When he showed up, he instantly pulled Elaine behind him. “Are you hurt?”

“Nate, Genny doesn’t like me here, so she burns my things!” Elaine pointed at the burning remnants, her eyes red as if she was heartbroken.

Nathaniel looked at Genevieve for the first time since he arrived, his gaze filled with disappointment. “Genny, we owe Lainey so much. She’s going to donate her kidney to you. How could you?”

Genevieve felt her heart had been squeezed by an invisible hand. The pain was suffocating

She crouched down, picked out a small piece of a photo from the ashes, and held it in front of the two. “Look at this. I’m burning my memories with Nathaniel. These aren’t your things.”

The photo was taken last winter. Nathaniel was wrapping a scarf around her. Genevieve’s nose was red due to the cold, but her eyes were full of joy.
