A Failure

Dax brought Tia off the dance floor and silently watched her chug wine a few times while pushing her tears back into her eyes. She flashed him another fake smile and hid her sigh.

A part of him wanted to soothe her but he looked away. He was aware he hadn't forgiven her yet. He wasn't ready to give her up hence he brought her back to him. 

Her tries didn't melt the cold wall that was built by her betrayal and he didn't know if they could break down either. He gave himself time and a chance to her to mend everything. If he still couldn't completely forgive her, he decided to break up and move on.
