He used to be very against it and never took me to his friends' gatherings. I once threw a tantrum over it, but he said, “What would you do there? You don’t know them.”
But more than once, I saw on Lysandra’s social media that he took her to his friends’ gatherings.
“No, I don't know them! Besides, our company has a team-building event today.”
I used to long to be with him every moment I had free time, so much so that I rarely attended company team-building activities over the years.
Once, my world revolved only around him, while his world included games, sports, friends and his "first love" Lysandra.
Now, I want to step out of that closed-off world and see the wonders outside.
After repeatedly and humbly seeking reconciliation, all met with my casual refusals, Roland's patience finally ran out. "Go if you want, I don't care!"
He slammed the door and left, while I leisurely changed into a beautiful dress. I felt particularly good after no longer caring about his mood. But I didn't expect the company team-building event and their gathering to be at the same place.
