HIS TEARS

'Once I've got my sight back, I will vacate this place and you will not pursue me.'

'Remove this soulmate mark just like you imprinted it on us.'

'You cannot touch me... remember you despise it.'

These words of hers kept him on edge. They weren't getting out of his head even for a second. In his sleeping robe, he paced around his room.

Despite whatever occurred between them...despite what she did and how he took his retribution afterward...despite all of this just what was he hanging on to?

Apologizing?

Could something like that even be said now?

If he never forgave her for what she did then how could she forgive him for what he did to her?

What they were, what they became, and what they are now. These three pillars of devotion, animosity, and remorse have been a part of him but what about her? Did she also feel these three sentiments?

This heart and this mind of his...were perplexing him.
