All the guests observed Leonel.
His face pallid, he also stood, nodded faintly, and departed.
Alexis had a few drinks at a bar before opting for a cab ride home.
She had moved out of that apartment she once shared with Leonel and into the one formerly occupied by her parents before they got married.
Alexis felt somewhat lonely at times, her sole companion being a cat.
Upon returning to her apartment, she discovered Leonel crouching at her doorstep, sans suit jacket, dressed in only a white dress shirt.
âWhat brings you here?â Alexis unlocked the door and entered.
Leonel trailed behind.

He had visited this place before during his childhood, accompanying Waylen.
The apartment now housed a cat, a charming little grey one.
Alexis fed the cat.
Speaking casually, Alexis remarked, âLeonel, given your current status, you can have any beautiful woman you desire.
You enjoy being pampered and reliving childhood sweethearts.
You can purchase that.
So, why trouble yourself with me?â
Leonel stood in close proximity to her.
He could enfold her with a mere extension of his arm, but he refrained.
He pleaded, âAlexis, I possess everything now! Can we start over? Iâll treat you well, and you can have anything you want!â
Alexis paused before softly asking, âCan you resurrect the Leonel I used to know?â
Leonelâs countenance paled; he couldnât.
With a smile, Alexis stroked the cat, her voice softer.
âLeonel, Iâm a perfectionist.
Itâs never about your success or wealth.
â The other person fell silent.
âJust go, and donât return.
I donât want to relocate again.

In the end, Leonel tenderly enveloped her.
Leaning against her, he murmured, âIâll provide you with everything I have, alright?â
âI donât desire it!â Alexis gently urged him away.
âPlease, put an end to this!â
Throughout, she remained gentle, refraining from arguments or harsh words, evidently resolute in letting go.
Leonel rose to his feet, his voice tinged with a trace of anger.
âBack then, I only felt pity for her.
I thought it was wrong to speak poorly of a woman who lost a leg.
I didnât love her! Alexis, you might consider me heartless, but arenât you the same?â
