It can&#8217;t be real. I knew it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mindy says with certainty, slapping her thighs.<\/p>\n<p>Easy to say in hindsight&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I roll my eyes at her and point it out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember it very differently when Frances and Hilda were together. You didn&#8217;t say you knew it. You said he was a bastard or something. Wait a minute! You have said that again one minute ago, haven&#8217;t you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I tilt my head and pretend to be recalling suspiciously.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy knows she has made a fool of herself.<\/p>\n<p>But she just turns around and glares at David, &#8220;Did I just say that, David? You didn&#8217;t hear me say anything bad about Frances, did you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a puzzled look, David shakes his head, &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t paying attention to you guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Was he?<\/p>\n<p>How is that possible?<\/p>\n<p>I know exactly how much he loves Mindy.<\/p>\n<p>He literally wishes to memorize every word she says. How could he not listen? This is absurd!<\/p>\n<p>He is spoiling Mindy so bad that he is even pretending to be deaf.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tear apart such a sweet lie of his.<\/p>\n<p>And what about me? Do I still have the chance to spend the rest of my life with Frances?<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of him lying unconsciously in the hospital, I feel my heart sink.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy immediately notices that something is wrong, &#8220;Jane, what&#8217;s the matter?&#8221; she asks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances is still unconscious for an overdose of drugs. I&#8217;m not sure if he will wake up. Mindy, I&#8217;m glad that he&#8217;s still alive. But, I hope he&#8217;s fine and nothing bad happens to him. I still have so much to say to him, but I probably won&#8217;t have a chance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m weeping on her shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>This is good news for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the execution, I stand outside the wall and hear the gunshot.<\/p>\n<p>Hilda is finally dead.<\/p>\n<p>Everything seems to have settled.<\/p>\n<p>No one can get in between Frances and me ever again.<\/p>\n<p>I return to the hospital contentedly. When I arrive, I happen to see someone picking Frances up.<\/p>\n<p>I know him.
