Luna stopped walking and slowly looked up . The sweetness and shy warmth in her eyes were gone , replaced by a steady , icy indifference . She moved as if she hadn't heard him and hadn't even seen the roses . Her gaze went right through him , and she just kept walking . Dennis froze , stunned . He quickly blocked her path . " Luna ? I'm talking to you ! I know you're mad . Hit me , yell at me , just don't ignore me ! " Luna finally paused , giving him a flat, unreadable look - no warmth at all . She stepped around him and walked away . Dennis stood there , flowers in hand , his confident smile collapsing . It was the first time a woman had blanked him completely . His looks , his wealth , none of them mattered at all to this woman . A surge of frustration and bruised pride rose in his chest . " Luna ! " he called after her , his voice sharp , " The more you push me away , the more I want you ! Just wait and see !

Sometimes , when he heard about Dennis striking out again and again , a strange , secret satisfaction flickered deep inside , which is a feeling he wasn't even aware of himself . But that satisfaction was followed by a deeper unease and a sense of loss . Dennis's pursuit of Luna left Travis feeling more unsettled than ever . He couldn't sleep at night . Every time he closed his eyes , he saw Luna's last look - so desperate , so cold , so final as she turned away from him . Sometimes he dreamed strange , disturbing dreams - Luna and Dennis meeting again in London , getting close ... He'd wake up in a cold sweat , heart pounding . Even in daylight , memories he'd thought were meaningless kept replaying in his mind . Luna's quiet focus as she made soup for him , the way she cried in secret when he was sick but wiped her tears away before he saw , her excitement whenever she won a scholarship and wanted to share it with him first . He used to think all those things were trivial . Now , he remembered every detail with perfect clarity , and it scared him . He felt completely out of control . Finally , one night , after drinking too much at a business dinner , he stumbled home , the apartment echoing with emptiness . Drunk and desperate , he fumbled for his backup phone and dialed Luna's overseas number with shaking fingers . It rang for a long time . Just as he was about to give up , his heart sinking , the call connected . " Hello ? " Luna's voice , cold and distant , barely disguised her irritation at being disturbed . Travis felt his heart twist violently in his chest , sobering him instantly .
