Ariel Morris thought to herself and quickly went upstairs with the bag. She knocked on Arlo Seys' door, waiting for his response.
The answer she received was a silence as calm as water.
She looked at the door; just one door separated them, the lovers who had once been deeply in love with each other.
Ariel Morris felt a tightness in her throat, "Arlo, do you remember what I once said? I said Arlo Seys was the warmest ray of sunshine in Ariel Morris's life. And now, I want to ask you something, something I asked you before. Arlo Seys, do you regret ever knowing Ariel Morris, and were you truly happy during those times we were together?"
Inside, Arlo Seys, who was holding a goblet and drinking wine, heard this question. His grip on the goblet suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning a bit white.
Arlo Seys brought the wine to his lips and drank it all at once, not answering Ariel Morris's question.
Outside the door, Ariel Morris's voice came again, carrying a hint of hoarseness.
