They shared a moment, tender and precious. Something that Cai had wanted for a good long time now. And he thought this is where the worlds would collide and maybe something could bloom from this. But then came the words he didn’t want to hear from her. ‘I’m sorry’ hit his ears, and he could feel his heart sink into his chest, then down into his stomach.
His lungs wouldn’t give him a breath – he tried and they gave him not even a sigh. When it finally gave way, he slowly nodded and took a step back.
“I get it” he lied, obviously so giving a slow nod to her in response. “ It’s fine, I get it.”
SHE’D MESSED THINGS UP --- just as she always did when it came to matters of the heart. it was the one thing Abby could depend on herself to do after all these years, but that never lessened the pain it made her feel in response. with each word he spoke her heart ached more, the witch wanting nothing more than to be selfish --- to grasp onto him and perhaps never let go. but... she couldn’t. she wouldn’t. Caiden had his own demons to contend with without her own (both literal and figurative) dragging him down further.
and so she stood, green eyes staring at the floor, arms still crossed against her chest, begging willing herself to say the words --- to cement this interaction and make him leave. TO MAYBE EVEN MAKE HIM HATE HER --- that’s what Julian would want. that was what was best for her as well as him... wasn’t it?
❝ It’s --- I’m not --- ! ❞
nothing. nothing would come out as she finally looked back at him, still trying so desperately to protect herself from this drastic feeling of vulnerability. Abigail Marie Marker was speechless.
