Liriel;
I stood frozen in the middle of the room, his words echoing inside my mind like a mocking laughter.
"I will pick my wife over my best friend any day."
Wife.
Wife!?
I barely noticed the sting in my palm until I realised how tightly I was gripping the vial still hidden in my sleeve. My nails had dug into my flesh, but I didn't care.
He didn't even wait for my reply before he turned around.
He was walking away.
Turning his back on me.
On me!!
No. I won't allow this. I will never allow it. I can not lose him. I can not let this happen.
No fucking way.
I need to stop him. Regain control of this entire mess. I watch him get to the door, and my lips move in a desperate attempt to stop him.
"Kealith," I call softly. My voice sweet and steady... too steady for the storm rumbling in my chest.
