SIXTY -ONE

REGAN'S POV..

"Iris, please let me explain."

She shook her head.

"You owe me no explanation. I shouldn't be surprise about this...hm! This was bound to happen...at least I was told that much.."

She whispered the last part to herself with sadness in her eyes. What was she told?

" Listen, it's not what you think.."

I began but once again was interrupted.

" Do you love her?"

This time round she looked me straight in the eyes and I whinced at the tears in her eyes. The gravity of the question caused me to be lost for words. Whatever I felt for Silvia, had nothing to do with love.

" I understand. You should know that I have nothing against it so please, stop pretending. "

And just like that, she was done with the conversation. She pushed past me and buried herself in the covers, pulling it over her head as she sobbed silently.
