Chapter 12
From that day on, the two of them would meet at the agreed time every day.
After finishing her class, Catherine went to the studio and started making clothes according to the design draft from the class.
When the sound of plano came in waves, she would come to the auditorium and sit in the front row as an audience for Glenn.
The two of them traveled together all day. Glenn would occasionally sit down next to Catherine and teach her how to play a song
As time passed day by day, with Glenn’s company, Catherine gradually forgot the pain back home, forgetting the Jerome who had once affected her for long time.

At this moment, a phone call broke the silence.
“Glenn?”
