Marley exhaled a shaky breath when Aiden stood from beneath her, her sudden fears paralyzing her. He slipped his phone from his pocket, pressing a few buttons. Marley was too afraid to look up at him. She shouldn't doubt him this way anymore by telling herself he was going to leave her right now...but he could, couldn't he?
Wouldn't he be better off, even though he loves her?
When does love stop being worth it?
"I need you to watch this," He said. "I'm going to take a walk while you do. It should tell you everything you need to know."
Marley opened her mouth to speak, to voice her confusion and doubt, but Aiden was already gone. The door shut with finality behind him. Marley used her blanket to wipe her tears before picking up his lit iPhone screen displaying a text message thread from Ian. Ian Matthews: This is everything you'll need.
