He wanted to rage. To make how betrayed he felt crystal clear. He wanted her to know what she'd done to him. He'd spent the better part of his life trying to protect himself, to build a shell around his heart, so that's what he'd done. He'd built himself a persona of self-indulgence and careless behavior. And the one time, the one time, he'd let someone in, let someone see him for who he was, this is what it had gotten him. His voice low again, he said, "If I mean so little to you then leave." He threw down the ultimatum. The choice was hers. She didn't know what she had done to him, the wound she had created. He'd been so careful with his heart. She's slipped by his defenses and he'd let her. He'd let her in. Let her get close. And this was what it got him. "And do not return." |
