"I still appreciate it though," Rachel said in regards to L's earlier compliment. She watched as the sugar dripped down into his mouth, and soon found herself looking down at the ground.
For some reason she started thinking about Patrick, and one of the bands he liked to listen to. Rachel always got annoyed when he played Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime" on his stereo at near full blast. Now, however, one of the songs was coming into the forefront of her mind. The chorus from the song, "I Don't Believe in Love" kept repeating over and over in her mind. Once again she swallowed.
"Maybe we should part ways. I can go back to my room, and maybe sleep the rest of the day," Rachel finally said with a reluctant sigh. There was a hint of sadness in her voice, but she knew that the longer she was around L, the harder this day would become for the both of them.
