Chapter 46: Shame that doesn't belong

Miracle's POV.

I watched Steve, he was a brilliant…brilliant man but with zero idea that his words could cut through someone like a sharp dagger.

I blinked back tears, trying to pull it together.

I opened the drawer pretending I was looking for something so I could have a minute to myself, but I guess he saw through it.

"Hey, I'm sorry" he hugged me. "I didn't mean to yell. I love you...I don't care about beauty and stuff. I love you the way you are..."

I wanted to say something but I was once again tossed into darkness and Stevie was gone…disappeared into thin air.

But the warm hands remained. It was holding me…like a tether keeping me steady.

But where did Stevie go?

I wanted to say something to him.

I wanted to say that when you love someone like he claimed to have loved me, you don't cut them down…you don't bloody reduce them to nothing.
