A vase shatters near me. "You didn't tell me how hard—"
"You'll get through this. It just takes time."
She sobs tearlessly. "That's just it. I don't want anymore time. I'm devastated. You never should've—"
"I'm sorry, but I don't regret changing you."
"I was a child."
"I'd waited so long."

"Nothing."
"Forever, Bella. You have to forgive me."
"And you have to give me space. Start right now."
