Sebastian’s
I watched Claire as her small frame exited the door. Nang maisara nito ang pinto ng silid ay tumalikod ako at tinungo ang bintana. Hindi ako nagsalita, hinintay ko na si Niu ang unang magbukas ng topic. I want to hear from him what they talked about.
“She told me about the two of you.”
It was a statement. Not a question or an accusation. Alam na ni Niu ang bagay na iyon, but Claire has no idea that Niu already knew. Kaya sinabi nito kay Niu ang namagitan sa amin.
My heart started to pound a little bit faster than usual.
I fished out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, put one between my lips, and lighted it. This will help me calm my raging nerves. I don’t know why, but for some reason, my nerves were raging beneath my skin, the erratic beating of my heart says so
