*DAMON*
As I drove off, I tried not to think of that woman’s words.
They meant nothing.
She was just being dubious as usual.
I continued driving and it wasn’t until I noticed a traffic light that I realized I was over-speeding.
I stepped on the brakes and pulled over by the side of the road.
I leaned against the headrest, trying to steady my breath and temper.
I couldn’t deny it anymore.
Carla’s words got to me.
Yes, I know Aurora is great, incredible, she’s the most beautiful woman I know and I need her more than anything.
Everything I said to Carla, every word came from my heart.
Of course it was impossible to have the slightest contempt for Aurora because of this.
But I felt so bothered knowing that she tried to kill herself because of Lucien.
Just how much did she love him?
Could I ever beat that?
Would she ever feel love for me?
It was as if she had felt and exhausted all the love she could ever have for Lucien.
Like, there was no space for me in her heart.
