Ran Into My Ex-Boyfriend During an Anti-Vice Raid at a KTV

3

Before I could even think, a woman in a police uniform knocked on the door and came in.

"Wyatt, a bunch of us are getting a late-night snack nearby. You should come, too."

I watched as Wyatt, who had been packing his things, paused for a moment, seeming to hesitate.

I glanced at the officer, then looked away.

'Oh, so he's already found someone.'

I couldn't quite put a name to the feeling in my heart. With a blank expression, I finished packing my things. Just as I stood up to leave, someone suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Wait, I'll take you home."

Wyatt's brow furrowed slightly as he looked over at the female officer, whose expression had become a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Quinn, you all go ahead. I'm not going to make it."

The officer, Quinn, clearly hesitated. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Wyatt's hand holding mine before she nodded and left.

"Let go."

I frowned, glaring at him in annoyance.

We broke up three years ago. Even if I still had some lingering feelings for him, seeing that officer just now brought me back to my senses.

A lot can change in three years.

Besides, for all I knew, there could be many others like her in Wyatt's life.

Just thinking about it made my heart feel heavy.

Wyatt gave me a confused look. "Do you even know the way home?"

I...

I gritted my teeth. "Can't I just use my GPS!"

'Great. So was I just overthinking all of this?'

'It's true I'm bad with directions, but I'm not a fucking idiot!'

Wyatt's brow seemed to furrow slightly, but he still didn't let go.

"I'm taking you home."

"I told you—"

I was at the end of my rope.

'What on earth is he trying to do?'

"Wren."

The words died on my lips.

That familiar, gentle nickname made my eyes well up instantly, against my will.
