144 Fate (Second Update)_3

"Norma, don't worry and stop blaming yourself. What happened between Gem and me was never about you. We broke up not because of you, as you said. The reason we split up was just between the two of us and had nothing to do with anyone else. And if Gem and I have arguments or fights in the future, they won't be because of you, and definitely not because of Elijah. People say that fighting is a sign of love and not fighting means a relationship will end soon. Married couples fight; it's a necessary part of the relationship. Fighting is like lubrication, helping to build emotions between us. See, even if Gem and I fight terribly, we still can't break up. Our love only gets stronger with each fight."

Norma's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head. Pretending to drink water, she said, "Is that so? I guess I've been overthinking. I thought talking things out would be better for everyone."
