"I once loved you,but for some reason I had to leave you.I'm so glad I'm back with you,and that you chose me again.Love forever,Xavier."
Seeing those final words frozen on the screen,my heart tightened,a dull pain slowly growing and spreading.
A self-deprecating smile played on my face,yet a deep sadness settled within me.
Xavier,what's your expression when you see the official divorce agreement?
In the days that followed,not seeing Xavier brought a certain peace,but on the third night he returned—and Vanessa was trailing behind him.
“Several murders have happened recently near where Vanessa lives.I didn’t feel safe,so I brought her home to stay for a while.Once the police catch the killer I’ll take her back,”Xavier said calmly,as if he were merely informing me.
The marriage was already over;this wasn’t my home anymore.I didn’t have the energy to argue.“Suit yourself,”I said.
Xavier didn’t expect me to let it go so easily.Seeing the calm on my face,he frowned and was about to say more when Vanessa spoke up.
