Three years. It had been three years since that fateful day. Three years since she had broken his heart. She had told him that things were better of this way; that they would both move on. He didn't believe her. Three years and she was still heavy on his mind. She had disappeared a few weeks later and was never found. The pain she had caused him changed him.
He got good grades along with the other boys in the gang. He no longer joked, no longer was crazy, and no longer had a pestering dog. Yup, this is the story of the new, and certainly not improved, Odd Della Rhobia.
