Can Online Dating Ever Lead to Real Love?
Unfortunately, one of the two investors turned them down just a few days later, which left them devastated.
Now their only hope was for one investor.
If it didn’t work out, they had no case.
“What do we do then?” she asked.
“We can look abroad but it will be tough.
We can also look for more investors, but we would need someone who could open doors for us, and we don’t have that.”
“No,” she said.
“We don’t.” He looked at her.

“You can…”

“Thank you,” he said, smiling a little.
“I have to…” She nodded and went back to the movie.
He looked at her before going into his room.
A second later he was lying on the bed, and he hoped his crying wasn’t heard because it must have been.
All the way into all the hearts that have been broken in two throughout time.
Somewhere behind the screens, people were still hoping to be understood.
