But he refused to believe it!
I saw Harrison again at my doorstep.
I was going out to buy groceries for Lucy’s sweet and sour pork ribs.
Opening the door, I saw him by the elevator.
He held my favorite lisianthus.
“What do you want?” I asked coldly.
Harrison studied me silently.
“Claire, I’m here to take you home.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Harrison, I returned the
jade bracelet. We’re done.”
“Done? You grew up in the Hayes house. Do

you think a few words will erase our
connection?”
He took out a box from the flowers and
opened it.
“The bracelet. Let me put it back on you.”
I looked at the bracelet and chuckled. “Harrison, I made it clear the day I left.” “Can’t we just end this amicably?”
He showed unexpected stubbornness, taking my hand.
“End? Impossible!”
“Claire, I sent that woman away. She won’t be back.”
“Put on the bracelet, we’ll get married now.”
I pulled my hand away.
“Harrison, it’s over.”
“Leave!”

I practically threw him out.
After that, Harrison changed tactics.
He waited outside my door every day, looking exhausted.
Sometimes flowers, sometimes gifts I’d liked.
Lucy feared I’d take him back. She warned
me,
“Being soft on a man will ruin your life.”
I reassured her.
Harrison was no longer even a friend.
But eventually, I grew tired.
One day, I opened the door, sighing. “Harrison, let’s talk.”
He sat opposite me, speaking cautiously. “Claire, come back. I’ll treat you right.”
“I was wrong, I apologize. I do care about you, I just don’t express it well.”

“And the Hayes house is your home. Don’t
you want it?”
Oh, he cared, just didn’t express it.
But it was also he who’d said only Sarah would be on his marriage certificate.
“Harrison, I lived at the Hayes house for
twelve years. Did you ever treat me like family
for even a moment?”
“I’m happy now. Please don’t bother me again.”
My only connection to the Hayes family was Harrison’s grandmother. She was gone, so I had no reason to stay.
Harrison’s face froze. His voice trembled.
“Claire, I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?”
“Sarah is my past. It doesn’t affect us.”
I laughed casually
く
I laughed casually.
“You’re my past too. Please, don’t interfere
with my life anymore.”
“Harrison, save some dignity for yourself.”
Harrison was proud and intelligent; he
wouldn’t humiliate himself.
That was the last time I saw him.
I had no regrets, only a little sadness.
It wasn’t so much a regret as an experience.
An experience without an ending, yet
beautiful.
Our third trip was to Tibet.
To see the Potala Palace,
to hear the stories of this city closest to
heaven.
After Tibet, Lucy and I became top travel
vloggers.
く
We celebrated by getting drunk.
The next day, we suffered hangovers while
editing.
We considered opening a studio, but decided
against it.
The channel started as a record of our
journey.
Everything else was a bonus.
We didn’t want to sacrifice our purpose for profit.
After winning the award, painting became my
way of recording my travels.
Lucy suggested finding a teacher.
I refused.
It was a hobby; I didn’t want it to be stressful. But that decision led to unexpected success. My paintings gained recognition.
く
People praised my work.
I won prizes at every competition, causing a
stir.
Many wondered about my constant energy.
I glanced at Lucy and said,
“I have a portable power bank who constantly
charges me.”
If leaving Harrison was impulsive, Lucy was my lucky break.
Looking at the girl by the window, signing me up for painting competitions, I laughed.
Lucy joined me, though she didn’t know why. Leaving the Hayes family, Harrison, I found rebirth and understood –
We are all like dandelions; we’ll all fly away someday.
There’s always a place waiting for us,
