Chapter 63

GRACIE

“That you’re going to remember, and you’ll begin to despise me once again…”

The anguish in his voice tore at my heart

“I’m afraid of that…so afraid” his whispered was tight and gut wrenching. His gaze burned with bright intensity against the dimly lit room.

He gaze not only mirrored the deep anguish in his voice, deep down I think he hated himself, he despised that he hurt me but at the same time couldn’t let me go…

I held his gaze, inhaling and exhaling repeatedly to control my quivering insides.

“Do you know when I left years ago, I had felt so lost…like I had lost the only person who needed me, the only person who would always be there when I opened my eyes whether I wanted it or not…”

My voice cracked tight as I remembered those nights filled with bitter tears, it still seemed like only yesterday.

I reverted my gaze to his, what I saw there was soul wrenching…his expression was pained as he pressed his forehead to mine.
