Aside from toiletries, she only had two outfits.
Though it was true she could easily buy new clothes in London in the UK, given how well he knew her, she had said her visit to London was to see if he still liked Norris Moore, yet in truth, she came to put him behind her.
To glance at him one last time, and then to say goodbye.
Rufus raised a hand to cover his eyes, his lips curling into a pained, silent smile.
She truly wasn't the same anymore.
She was no longer the little girl he had once fooled into a dizzy whirl.
In these four years, without him even noticing, she had transformed into an independent, mature woman.
He was certain she would live well after leaving him.
