Lily’s doubles partner. They were middle
school friends. They had worked so hard
together.
They could finally participate in a competition,
but then the car accident happened.
After she was saved, she couldn’t feel her
legs anymore.
Lily quit tennis; broke up with him, and moved
overseas.
He had waited for her for five years. Now, he
was getting married.
“I’m happy for him,” Lily said, wiping her
tears. “No one is going to wait forever, he
should move on.”

“But I feel like I’m being left behind, isn’t that
terrible?”
I rubbed her head and gave her a tissue.
Lily opened a bottle of wine and fell asleep,
half drunk.
I tucked her in and noticed an unfamiliar text.
[Grandma said. you went abroad, do you have
enough money?]
I couldn’t figure out who it was.
And then, [A transfer notification.]
I knew who it was.
I stared at the message and transferred the
money back.
