    Eric wiped the sweat from his brow as the sun beat down on the Rodriguez estate. He was crouched in front of the perfectly manicured flowerbeds, carefully trimming the delicate roses that Mrs. Rodriguez cherished more than anything, more than any of her servants, certainly more than him. The sharp scent of freshly cut stems filled the air, and the rhythmic sound of the shears clipping away at the blooms brought Eric a rare moment of peace.That moment, however, was short-lived.“Eric!” Mrs. Rodriguez’s sharp voice pierced through the stillness. She stormed toward him, heels clicking against the stone path. Her designer dress fluttered in the slight breeze, but there was nothing light about her mood.She sighed. “What do you think you’re doing to my roses?!” she spat, glaring down at him.Startled, Eric stood quickly, dropping the shears at his feet. “I….I was trimming them, Mrs. Rodriguez. Just like you asked.”Eric was looking confused. Mrs. Rodriguez crossed her arms, her lips

    The cool night air greeted Eric as he stepped out of Lisa’s house, the sounds of laughter and music fading behind him. His heart pounded in his chest, but his face remained emotionless. He didn’t want to show it. Not now. Not after seeing her like that, on Oliver’s lap. The image of Lisa, smiling and laughing with him, played on repeat in his mind, but Eric forced himself to swallow the lump in his throat.He glanced down at the small gift still clutched in his hand. It was wrapped in simple brown paper, a delicate necklace inside a gift he had saved for, worked for, dreamed of giving to her. And now, it felt meaningless. But despite the hurt, something inside him refused to give up completely. Maybe she didn’t mean it. Maybe she had been drunk or caught up in the party. Maybe… maybe he still mattered to her.“I need to give her time,” Eric said. With a resigned sigh, Eric turned and walked down the road, the sound of his footsteps lost in the stillness of the evening. He didn’t go

Eric turned. “Yes?”“Be safe,” Nora blunted. Eric nodded and he walked out of the store, the door rings the top bell, and it rang again, as another man walked in. Nora exhaled, as she felt that desire for love but Eric heart was somewhere, even though, it wasn’t appreciated. “I will give him time,” Nora muttered. Nora glanced on the table and she saw that Eric forgot the necklace, the gift he bought for Lisa. Nora quickly looked outside if she could see him but he was lost in the night. Nora knew that he had to give him when next they met but she was curious. Nora sat where Eric sat she opened the wrapper and took a glance at the necklace. “Wow,” Nora muttered.

For a moment, he felt out of place, a bitter reminder of how far removed he was from this world, the world that Lisa now seemed to belong to.Eric’s eyes scanned the crowd, his jaw clenched tight as he searched for Oliver. The anger that had been bubbling inside him ever since Lisa’s manipulative words was now boiling over. He didn’t care about the stares from strangers or the fact that he didn’t belong here. He only cared about confronting Oliver and getting answers.Finally, in the back corner, Eric saw him. Oliver was seated at a large booth, surrounded by a group of people, boys and girls alike, laughing and drinking as if they didn’t have a care in the world. A few girls were dancing around the table, and Oliver, with a cocky smirk plastered on his face, sat back like he owned the place.For a moment
