In my sophomore year, my mom was busy with work. Fearing that she couldn't take care of me, she temporarily arranged for me to stay at Jack Lawson's house. Jack Lawson was her long-time friend.

Henry and I went from being unfamiliar classmates to being in a relationship, where we would see each other at home even if we didn't see each other at school.

Such sudden change made us confront each other at home and ignore each other at school.

But there is not much reason to talk about teenagers living under the same roof. We are irresistibly attracted to each other.

One night after the high school graduation, we kissed each other in the empty house under the moonlight. The unfamiliar and burning desire ran rampant in the young bodies.

I stared at his burning and moist eyes. I couldn't tell where the intense heartbeat had come from. I trembled and took off my skirt...

"I have never been stingy in expressing my love. Nor am I afraid of regretting it in the future."

"I never expected that the person I loved would address me as a slut after enjoying my passionate love for ten years."

I looked at the wedding invitation letters piled up on the coffee table and laughed silently. Tears streamed down my face.

After my mother became seriously ill, Henry's father, Jack, finally couldn't bear it. He changed his mind and agreed to us being together.

The first thing Henry and I did was to customize wedding invitation letters. We wanted everyone to know about our relationship.

Facing countless difficulties, we had been sticking together for ten years.

Not long after that year, our families discovered our relationship.

We thought our parents would be happy for us, so we didn't think about hiding it.

As a result, Jack was furious. my mom advised us to break up with red eyes.

I didn't want to make my mom sad. I couldn't bear to see her caught between Jack and us and put herself in a dilemma anyway. Then I suggested breaking up with Henry.

At that time, Jack confined him to his room. Kneeling with his back straight as a punishment, he wasn't eating or drinking.

I turned my body to the side and dared not look him in the eyes. Out of the corner of my eyes, he suddenly bent his straight back after I proposed to break up with him. He was like a withered flower.

Henry lowered his head. With a blush at the corner of his eyes, he choked up and said, "Lucy, except you, I haven't thought about being with anyone else. Please don't give up on me, okay?"

Later, we continued to date each other secretly against our families' wishes. My tense relationship with my family made my mom unhappy. Only after she got sick did things ease up.

"Now everything is moving towards the long-awaited happy ending. We are about to embrace a happy ending."

"Perhaps everyone is as a song line says. No one will be an exception in this mundane world."

"Good times don't last forever."

"One can't always climb upwards."

"Is there no one in love, who lasts forever?"

I was sleepless all night. I watched as the sky gradually brightened. Then I went into the kitchen to keep myself busy.

After Henry got up, he saw my swollen eyes and hugged me from behind, feeling sorry for me. He said, "Did you work overtime again last night? If you're too tired, don't do it anymore. The entertainment industry is full of different people from all walks of life. I'm worried about you."

I forced a smile, feeling that I was a hypocrite person. I looked down at his empty left hand and said, "Did you lose your ring? I haven't seen it in a long time."

Henry was stunned. He instinctively pulled his hand back, using his right hand to cover it. He said, "Maybe I took it off and left it somewhere when I met a client yesterday. I'll look for it later."

When I graduated from college, Henry took a late mid-night flight to come to my school. He waited downstairs in the dormitory building for a whole night.

He, who had always been flamboyant and unrestrained, knelt nervously amidst the cheers of the crowd.

The ring was in the shape of a simple Möbius strip.

He fixed his moist eyes on me. His choked voice trembled imperceptibly. He said, "The Mobius strip symbolizes infinite loops, which is just like us. We will always meet each other no matter what."

"My dream is to make you happy."

I laughed at his silliness with tears in my eyes. I responded with the same firm promise.

"But now, Henry seems to have jumped off the train where he is destined to meet me."

I got my happiness from him, and he ruined my happy life by himself.

Before leaving for work, Henry stood at the entrance as usual. Hugging and kissing me, he said, "Be careful on the way. I love you."

My body wasn't loyal to my mind. I habitually responded to him first, saying, "I love you too."

The sunshine outside the window was bright. The sky was clear. For a moment, I almost thought that everything that happened yesterday was just a dream of mine.

"We are still a couple, who have overcome many obstacles and are about to start the next stage of life."

When I met Libby, who was wearing an intern badge, at a magazine shooting site, memories and pain came rushing up to me belatedly.

Overwhelmingly, I was stunned on the spot.

Libby saw me too. Seemingly unsurprised, she turned around and walked straight towards me.

The female protagonist in the wedding photos, who had almost burned me to ashes yesterday, was now standing in front of me so lively.

There was no sign at all.

I was astonished. But Libby smiled provocatively as if everything were under her control.

She impolitely looked me up and down at first. Then she frowned slightly, saying, "I don't quite look like her. She is much older than me."

She proudly extended her hand, saying, "I'm Libby Shawn, Henry's... "

She elongated her voice, saying, "His girlfriend."

I shook her hand and said with a fake smile, 'What a coincidence. I am his girlfriend too."
