Do I love Jarod? That's the million dollar question. Lyle accepts the person that I am now, something that Jarod would want me to change and I don't think I could do it, even for him.
"Lyle, don't be silly. I don't love him. Maybe when I was younger but now, it's you I love"
"Really?" he says looking into my eyes. To see if I'm telling the truth.
"Yes" and I wrap my arms around him and kiss him softly
He pulls away and grins. "I thought that you didn't want a public display"
"Lyle, I'm sick of lying. Sick of hiding our relationship. Sick of all of the pretense"
"Darling, you're the only one that Jarod sticks around for. If he knows that you've gone over the dark side so to say" he chuckles when he says dark side "He'll disappear"
"Why are we trying to capture him? Why is he so important? I don't care about him anymore. To hell with him" I shout. My voice echoes through the forest
"You know why. He's Centre propertery. He was made by Centre."
"He's a human being, Lyle."
"What's changed? You were fine with it before. When did you start thinking like this? Been listening to Ratboy? Have you?" he sneers
"I don't know. Maybe when he saved my life. You wouldn't of had a wife if it wasn't for him but you chose to torture him."
"You do love him." He shouts at me "I can't deal with you when you're like this" and he walks back into the cabin. Leaving me standing there. All alone and tears start to roll down my cheeks. Damn you, Jarod for making me care about you.
