Wyatt followed her at an easy pace, jacket draped over one arm. “If you’re not feeling well, stop wandering around. I’ll have the clothes delivered to your place. I know all your sizes better than the models do.”
“I don’t need the trouble,” Yunice said without even glancing back.
As they stepped off the elevator, Gill came rushing over, pale and sweaty. She grabbed Yunice’s arm in a panic. “You scared me to death! I thought you’d slipped away without a word again.”
Yunice said she wanted to go home, so Gill didn’t insist on shopping any longer.

Oscar. Gray windbreaker, cropped hair, blank face.
He brushed past them without so much as a flicker of recognition, as though she were a stranger.
He went into the elevator. Yunice stepped out.
The doors closed behind them.
Yunice didn’t look back. “Let’s go.”
Gill clutched her arm tighter. “Miss, wasn’t that—”
“It doesn’t matter who he is,” Yunice cut in. “What matters is staying alive.”

Now the wheel had turned.
Yunice, hands folded, watched Gill fuming with arms akimbo. “People did wrong, not the plants. Why take it out on them?”
“Miss, weren’t you the one who treasured this rose seedling?” Gill pointed. “If I don’t clear the bamboo, won’t it steal its nutrients?”
