Of everything she'd done to him over the years — from mockery to abandonment — this was the absolute worst. Genuinely, he didn't know how he was going to get over her betrayal.
He didn't know what else to do, so when she didn't even attempt an apology… he left.
His bad night turned into bad weeks into a horrid month before he forced himself back home.
She was there, looking as careworn as he felt.
Though an apology remained unspoken he was weak against her pull, falling into her arms. He'd always been too drawn to her for his own good.
