house.
As he walked past Nellie's room, he hesitated for once instead of just ignoring it. Standing at the door, he got lost
in his thoughts, trying to unravel why Nellie had turned so cold and unfeeling. But every reason he could think of
seemed to fall short. How did she end up like this?
Unable to hold back, Cameron knocked on the door. After waiting for what seemed like ages, there was still no
