I merely glanced at her, too weary to engage further.

I knew her too well; in this state of mind, nothing I said would penetrate.

"Reflect on your actions, and I'll address this with you tomorrow!"

She huffed coldly and hurled the watch at my head.

I sat up from the bed, my mind rewinding to the day I first met Jane.

That fateful day, I was donning a frog costume and handing out flyers on the bustling pedestrian street when Jane, out for a stroll, was accosted by a drunken ruffian.

With a swift slap, she attacked the drunkard, who retaliated with a knife.

Seeing this, I seized her hand. We fled, and the drunk was in hot pursuit.

Her heels snapped, and she stumbled, so I hoisted her onto my back and sprinted on.

I knew not how long we ran, but the drunk was eventually subdued by the police. Yet, I was hospitalized due to the exertion, and my heart was in agony.

She remained by my side throughout, murmuring, "Frog, please don't leave me. I beg you. Frog..."

In my eyes, she was a vision of beauty that I couldn't help but adore. Though I knew my love was humble, I gathered the courage to cherish her in secret. Even if it remained unspoken, the courage to love was mine.
