Here goes nothing. I don't know what this chapter is going to be about yet, so I'm just going to wing it.
Scarlett's eyes filled up again, but she shed no tears.
"Lord knows, I love you Rhett. I don't know how I could have gone on another day without you. It was torment, waking up each morning to Cat's smiling face, and seeing you there. It was like you were mocking me. But I was the only one to blame for my misery. When Cat was born, but I thought she had died, I didn't ever want to wake up again. I had no one. Not you, not Bonnie, not Wade or Ella or Cat. When I woke up to find that Cat was alive, I only wanted you all the more, so I could show you your beautiful daughter and you would be so happy. You would be so proud. But it was impossible, and I knew it. So I've lived in a surreal happiness ever since Cat was born. I love her, and can't imagine life without her, but it was so hard to live with her without you. But I knew that if you ever found out about her, you would be so angry with me, and would take her away from me. I couldn't let that happen Rhett. I just couldn't lose my baby again." Scarlett embraced him again, and cried longer. When she had finished, Rhett sat her down on a bench by the docks. He gently kissed her.
"I love you. You know that now, don't you?" he said quietly. She nodded.
"I promise you, I will never try to hurt you again, and I will never try to take Cat away from you. She is not my daughter, Scarlett, and she isn't yours either. She is ours."
