For a moment , I stood frozen .
Perhaps seeing how miserable I was , the man beside Ben gave a slight bow .
Sorry about my brother .
Hes just like that .
Ill get in touch with you another day , Miss .
Well come by to properly thank you .
I didnt know how long I stood there .
It wasnt until a police officer came over and asked if I needed help that I snapped back to reality .
What was I thinking ? I was thinking about the way Ben had looked at me .

It was as if he saw me the same way he saw that drunken woman .
+25 BONUS Chapter 8 When I got home , the place was still a mess .
I stood there , stunned .
Id been in such a rush earlier to find him that I knocked over part of the shoe cabinet while grabbing an umbrella .
I set my bag down on the floor and walked further into the house .
The colored markers I bought for Ben were still in their unopened box .
The clothes I had ordered for him online were still on their way .
On the flour covered floor next to the coffee table , the art book lay there , untouched .
I walked over and opened it to the last page .
He had written , carefully and deliberately … Love .
The next day , when I went to the police station to make my statement , just as I expected , I ran into Ben again .
He was wearing a black shirt today , sitting with his head lowered , giving off an aura that screamed , Dont come near me .
It was strange he was the same person , yet he felt entirely different from before .
A few layers of bandages were wrapped around his forehead , probably from the steel pipe incident last night .
The police didnt need to ask me much .
I simply told them exactly how Ben had come to stay at my house .
When I left the station , I waited for a while at the entrance before Ben finally appeared .
He glanced at me briefly .
Ben … Thats not my name .
His voice was a bit lighter , but mostly wrapped in impatience .
Right .
He wasnt Ben , but I had gotten so used to calling him that .
M Mr .
Greene , this is the art book you left at my house , and the clothes I bought for you .
Theyre still unopened .
I cant wear them , so … I brought them for you .
I handed him the bag , but he just lowered his gaze to me .
I used to think Bens eyes were beautiful , bright like they held countless tiny stars .
Now , his eyes were still beautiful , but they were like a bottomless , dark abyss .
