"Where am I supposed to go?" Daphne demands, tears falling from her eyes.
She hates that he's made her so fucking vulnerable and weak. Her mother has taught her to always be in control, to always hold her head high. But how can she when Theo has destroyed everything?
"I don't care," he says, tugging his coat on and stalking toward the door. "But I don't want you here when I return."
The door slams, causing Daphne to jump. Her body trembles, and she tries to calm herself, but she fails. Her marriage is a lie; they've both known from the start. And yet it still hurts knowing that it's over.
Daphne kneels and lifts the broken picture frame. Shattered glass falls to the floor. She doesn't remember who used it as a weapon in this fight. They have always been too volatile, and their fights have been pure chaos, impossible to track.
"Reparo," she says, and the glass pieces itself together.
Maybe there's no point. Why should she bother to fix things in a place she is no longer wanted? With a heavy sigh, she sets the newly repaired frame aside. There's only so much she can do before she has to face the inevitable; she may as well get it over with now.
…
"I have nowhere else to go," she whispers.
Pansy doesn't even hesitate before stepping aside and allowing Daphne to come inside. It doesn't matter that their days as teenage lovers are long behind them. The love is still there, and maybe it always will be.
Daphne throws her arms around Pansy, her slender body quaking with sobs.
"There there, love," Pansy murmurs. "Everything is going to be okay."
Daphne wants to believe so badly. She wants to tell herself that this is for the best, and maybe it's a second chance for her and Pansy. There will be a better future, and Theo will become just a memory.
One day.
For now, she wants to break and to know that Pansy will keep her together.
