Such a fatal blow is more tormenting than hurting her physically.<\/p>\n<p>After thinking about it, I made a decision in my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Although I don&#8217;t know whether I will get what I want, or it will be overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whitney, you made me do it. You better not regret it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I say that to Whitney with a smile, turn around and go into the store. After paying the check, I walk outside.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Whitney has no idea what I mean just now. She comes at me while grabbing my arm and asks. &#8220;What do you mean, Jane? What are you going to do?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I smile at her and leave without saying anything.<\/p>\n<p>After I get home, I take out my old phone and dials Frances\u2019 number.<\/p>\n<p>I am scared that I will lose the courage if I don\u2019t do it now.<\/p>\n<p>I always keep the phone in my suitcase. It is a souvenir which Steven bought in Prague.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a long time since I used this phone. I don\u2019t think I would ever use this phone again in my life if I don\u2019t have to call Frances.<\/p>\n<p>Frances&#8217;s phone number used to so clear in my mind, that even to the point where I can tell it backwards fluently.<\/p>\n<p>But I can\u2019t remember anything now, maybe because I want to get him and the past out of my mind subconsciously.<\/p>\n<p>When I turn on the phone, I feel it is vibrating like crazy, even my hands are numb.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 197 unread text messages.<\/p>\n<p>All comes from Frances.<\/p>\n<p>The last text has only one word.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tolerate it.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I dial Frances&#8217; number.<\/p>\n<p>The call is quickly answered, but Frances remains silent.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so nervous that I don\u2019t even know where to start.<\/p>\n<p>After about a minute of silence, Frances&#8217; voice came from the other end of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He sounds uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe he isn\u2019t expecting that I would use this phone again, nor is he expecting that I would call him on this phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s me.&#8221; My heart is pounding fast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221; His voice sounds indifferent, making me more nervous.<\/p>\n<p>But now that my mind is already made up, I don\u2019t have other choices.<\/p>\n<p>After taking a deep breath, I speak up. &#8220;You said that you want to marry me.
