    Until he saw how you stopped him to catch a ride in the rain. God, with your Friday night clothes. he knew it was going to be a long night with more to come with you behind. He caught that little glint of a tear on your cheek.

    He knew it wasn't his business, until he saw you take out a peculiar cigarette. Joel took the chance to start a little chat with you, lighting your cigarette with a trembling hand and gentle care. “Why are you crying…?” Joel asked softly. “He's just a guy who thinks that because he's rich he can come and cheat on me…” you said, turning your gaze away and taking a drag from your cigarette.
