Tony bought flowers, chocolates and a teddy bear. He went to her unit and open it with the spare keys that he took from her. He was excited that he would have her in his arms and more kisses and make out. But to his disappointment, the unit was empty and cold. He put the chocolate and flowers on the coffee table and then the big teddy bear on the sofa.

He sat there and tap on his phone. He send her messages. She didn't reply. He went to her wardrobe and found it empty. Only his clothes are left there. His heart starts racing and he search around the unit only to find it neat and clean. The bed was covered with white cloth and her other things are gone without any trace.

They have a lot of memories there and now she just left like that. He wanted to smash everything but he couldn't. Everything just look useless. He slump on the couch and stare at his phone waiting for her to call.

He has to find her. He stood and storm outside but he stopped when he saw her standing there holding a key and she look drunk. She also smell of alcohol. His arms automatically wrapped around her and he start kissing her face and then her mouth. She taste whiskey mixed with ice tea.

”Where are you going to move out?” he asked her with a face full of worry. He pull her inside and didn't let her go.

”Just near.” She said.

”Give me the address.” She didn't say anything at all.

Veronica's eyes fall on the big teddy bear, the beautiful lilies and the dark chocolate. Her heart clenches more and she felt her eyes becoming blurry and hot. She look away from him and turn back from him. She immediately wipe those tears away and fight her emotions. But as long as she hold it and fight it—her heart aches more.

”Don't scare me like this, V.” He hugged her from behind and kiss her top head. She cleared her throat.

”I forgot something so I have to get it.” He didn't release her.

”Let's stay like this for a while. You scare me.”

”I'm sorry.” She mutter voiding all of her emotions.

”It's okay. Why don't you sober up? I bought you chocolates. Then we can go to your new place.”

”You can't go there.” she warn him. ”Let's go to your place.” Just this night. She thought to herself. Just this night, I want to see him, touch him and kiss him.

She took the item that she left. It was important to her since he bought it when they are in Maldives. She took the big teddy bear that he bought for her and hugged it as they get into his car. He hold her hand as he drives to his penthouse. He had a feeling that she's leaving him after this night.

She resigned without his knowing whereas, he was just informed two weeks before the effectivity date of her resignation letter.

”I'll order something. What food would you like to eat?”

”Korean.” She said and look at him for a long time. He stop the car when the traffic light turns into red. He call a Korean restaurant and order whatever Korean food that she likes.

”So you drank whiskey first before eating?”

”I wasn't hungry and I just drink little.” She yawns and keep her eyes on him. He smile at her and keep his eyes on her for a while. Then he caress her hair.

”Okay. Next time eat first before drinking. It will be better if you drink with me.”

”It's green light.” She only glance at the traffic light then she closed her eyes hugging the big teddy bear.

He drove safely to the parking lot of the penthouse building. After parking it, he open the car door for her and took her flowers and chocolate from the back seat.
