Silence lingered for a moment before Quinn finally spoke, his voice low but resolute. "I cannot explain why I was so convinced you deserved pain, but now I am certain you are the only one for me. Belle, give us another chance." His plea hung in the air, but Belle only scoffed, her disbelief cutting through his words.
Tears streaked down her cheeks as she responded, her voice trembling with anguish. "Another chance? I did everything to make us work, Quinn! I ran errands while carrying your child. I loved you more than anyone should ever love their partner. I never ran away from our misunderstandings butyou did! I tried to understand you, but you never cared to understand me. I tried to make us one, but all you ever did was destroy that dream!" Her voice cracked, and her fists struck his chest with every accusation.
