The last time I was sad

To please his new girlfriend, Alex made me run three laps around the city barefoot.

"Is this your 90th demand?" I asked.

He scoffed. "You're such a doormat anyway. Perfect for entertaining Serena."

I insisted, "Is it the 90th demand?"

He grew impatient. "Fine, I'll combine it with the 91st. After you finish the three laps, go fish out my son's toy from the lake."

I didn't hesitate. I just left to run.

All because I'd promised to do a hundred things for him, to repay his kindness.

Once the debt was settled, I could finally leave.

**One.**
