"Dane, do you really not regret it? You wrote me so many love letters, you said you would love me for a lifetime. How could you so easily be with someone else?"
I didn't stop walking.
"What if I said I was dying? Dane, can you be so heartless?"
My steps faltered for a moment, a strange emotion welling up inside me, but it quickly subsided.
"Medical science is very advanced now. You won't die."
Just then, Faye called to say she'd be here soon.
Genevieve stood there, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on my back.
"Dane, is there really no chance..."
I walked away without acknowledging her further.
I had thought that if I spoke firmly enough, Genevieve would take the hint and leave.
But I underestimated her thick skin.
She somehow found out our home address and waited there for me every day.
Even Faye's good temper was provoked. She had someone rough Genevieve up.
"A piece of trash like you dares to covet my husband? Get lost!"
