Returning home, I had been worried about walking in on a scene of the couple pouring their hearts out to each other.
But when I opened the door, I found Beckett sitting in the living room, and his bedroo door seemed deliberately left wide open.
Seeing me return, Beckett opened his mouth as if to say something, but I turned an
went into the kitchen.
I was a bit hungry, so I might as well make lunch.

During lunch, I sensed that Beckett seemed to want to explain something, but I kept quiet, so he seemed to hold back.
Finally, he couldn’t resist and looked up at me: “Cora, earlier…”
I kept eating from my own bowl and said flatly, “Don’t talk while eating.”
Beckett choked, swallowing his words.
I laughed coldly inside.
In the past, when we were together, it was mostly me chattering away.
But often, he would just have a bland expression in response to the topics I deliberately
brought up.
If not that, he would say, don’t talk while eating.
Back then, I felt ashamed, thinking my manners weren’t good enough.
It was only later that I understood, it wasn’t about manners.
No matter what you say, it’s wrong if you’re the wrong person.
