I got out of my car, balancing my cup of coffee and the tea Dimitri liked. I had bought it as a peace offering, to open the lines of communications.
I walked straight to the physical therapy section, and before I could figure out how to open the glass door with my hands full, I saw them.
The first thing I noticed was that Dimitri's head was free of bandages. He must've gotten a haircut, for his usual long hair was now short and he had grown a beard.
He still looked beautiful, but it wasn't just the sight of him that made me pause. It was the woman standing next to him.
Tasha stood on his side, caressing his hair, while Dimitri sat in one of the chairs that were placed on the outskirts of the gym-like space. His eyes were closed and his head rested against the wall. He murmured something and then she leaned in to kiss him.
I was frozen in place, watching as inch by inch she closed the spaced between them. Rage filled me when she kissed him on the lips, and I was about to run in there and pulled her out by the hair, until I saw Dimitri cup his face and deepened the kiss.
My heart broke in millions pieces. I never thought it was possible for a person to feel so much pain. It was all consuming, so much I couldn't breathe.
I dropped the cups from my hands, turned around and left.
Betaed by the lovely Nicia.
A/N: Longest chapter so far, couldn't make it shorter... *hangs head in shame* Oh well... nobody is perfect.
