"Just start"
He lifted the sheet of paper on his hand, and started:
"David, hidden fugitive... It's sad to have to tell you that the happy joyful fairy tale you and Victoria are trying to have won't get that far. Because the truth is, you don't deserve it. Neither of both.
You, for getting where you're not supposed to. Very little specific, I know. But time after time you'll realize what I mean.
And her, well... I could give a detailed file of reasons why she deserves even worse pain than you. Because I know her too well. But basically, I will mention the betrayal. And the evil selfish instinct she has of doing whatever is necessary to get out of the water even if she's drowning someone else.
The fact that the first thing you did after getting out of your refuge was to go after her, like a silly puppy still blind after enough things and evidences went in front of its eyes, that it's just... terribly pathetic.
Don't lie to yourself. Even if you're still in love with her, we both know that she will never change. That coldness, the arrogance, the egoism... she won't. She's already like that.
The same way she lied to you years ago, she could do it again, if she'd have to choose between saving you, or herself.
Think about it. And oh, about your daughter. Tell her to think about your girl too.
And next time you kiss her and you make love to her, ask yourself if she's worth it. She's not gonna change.
See you both soon.
When he lifted his head, he found her gaze pinned down on the floor. She was obviously hit by those words. She wasn't sure that this person would really know her like it said. But deep inside she was afraid this person was right.
She was selfish and proud; But what hurt the most, was to hear that she'd betray him again if she had to save herself. But that wasn't true. She'd not.
And right now, her fear was him to believe this.
"Vee... Vee, you're okay?"
Her eyes full of fear, met his.
"Ah, yes."
"It's just a letter. This is not true."
"Really?"
"Why do you ask that? Of course it's not."
Her eyebrows lifted softly. "Right."
"What are you scared of? This person can't hurt you"
"Of losing you, don't you see?"
He melted in that same instant. She was still the same vulnerable... "Everyday I'm afraid that the ghost of my sins come back and haunt me and tempt you"
"Tempt me for what, exactly?" His arm rounded slightly from the side of her abdomen to her whole low back.
"Tempt you to finally open your eyes and realize that I'm not what you deserve. Which is true."
"Oh Vee, shut up please." He pressed a hand against her head, and pulled it until it was resting on his shoulder. He was now completely holding her with his two arms. "I don't know what else to do to wipe your fears away."
"You can't. That's why I exhaust people... I demand too much and I give little."
"I don't need a lot from you."
"I'm just afraid you don't love me anymore"
He took her face into his arm and directed it to meet her gaze.
"Don't be. You don't have a reason for that, you hear me?"
She nodded slowly.
"If I stop loving you, I will tell you... but for now, that hasn't happened yet"
