Chapter 60
"Hello?" I try to reply, but my throat dries up. "Hello? Is someone there?"
"Hello." I finally manage to choke out.
"Vincent? Is that you?"
"Yes." There's a pause.
"You got the letter, then."
"Yes." Another pause.
"Look, Vincent, please give me another chance. I know I don't deserve it, but-"
"No." I speak suddenly, cutting her off. "You do deserve it. It wasn't your fault."
"It was."
"It wasn't."
"I don't expect you to forgive me, but give me another chance, please. Let me get to know you. Please." I don't speak for a moment, thinking it over.
"Okay."
"Thank you, Vincent. Thank you so, so much."
"I'll have to talk to Naboo about it."
"Of course. Look, I have to go. Let me know when I can see you. Goodbye, Vincent."
"Goodbye." I hang up.
My thoughts begins to rush and I feel dizzy. I sit down and put my head in my hands. What have I done? What have I agreed to? I don't deserve this. I don't deserve any of it. I need…I need…I know what I need. But I can't. What if Naboo finds out? But I have to. I can't not. I make my way towards where I know I can find it, stumbling slightly, blinded by my need. I find it, shut the door behind me and sit down.
