Everything Is So Confusing

A week had passed since the Flower Festival, and I had once again visited House Lawrenson’s mansion to have tea with Lord Phillip. The reason that I was meeting him more frequently was due to yet another one of his blatant lies. He’d said that this was our usual frequency, and that we’d even met more often than this. My parents said nothing to refute this. They’d simply smiled upon seeing how I was leaving the house more than I’d used to.

At my maid’s suggestion, I wore the earring that Lord Phillip gave me the other day. He was incredibly happy to see that, and said that he would give me even more presents the next time. When he asked me if ten pairs of earrings was enough, I politely but firmly turned him down. I only had two ears, after all.

Of course, the silences that plagued our meetings still continued. But oddly, they no longer felt as suffocating as they did in the past.

“Speaking of which, will you be participating in next month’s class reunion, Lord Phillip?”

I didn’t think anything of my question, but Lord Phillip made a troubled face. He looked deep in thought for a moment before he opened his mouth.

“I...won’t go.”

“Oh, I see.”

“How about you?”

“I-It’s fine, really...”

“Fweh... I can’t believe that I... While you were going through something so terrible...”

Three days later, Jamie visited my house. She was bawling her eyes out, and looked thinner than I remembered. Apparently, she had fought with her lover and he broke up with her. The shock of it all caused her to shut herself in her room for an entire month. She was usually a tough cookie, but when it came to matters of the opposite sex, she was terribly insecure. She was sobbing about how she’d failed as my best friend, since she didn’t know about my accident and couldn’t do anything to help me.

Truthfully, even though I was the one who had been in an accident, Jamie looked much closer to death. She was pale and gaunt, and she looked moments away from fainting. I was doing perfectly fine, thank you very much, so I hoped that she wouldn’t worry too much about me.

“I’m really all right, Miss Preston,” I said.

“Really...? Also, just call me by my first name.”

“R-Right...”

After that, she spent two hours telling me all about how close we were. It was honestly a little embarrassing, but I was happy to hear her talk about our friendship. Since Rex already knew my secret, I wondered if I should tell Jamie the truth as well. However, she lost control at times, so I decided against it. More than a few times in the past, Jamie did things that I could never even think of. I told her that Lord Phillip and
