viii

You found out.

You find everything out.

God help me, I could never keep anything from you.

And it wasn't pretty when I kept things from you and you found them out.

It was the day something broke between us.

Something broke within you.

And that shattered me as well.

When you stood there in the corner with the letter in your hand, your back to me, your frail looking shoulders shaking, I knew this was something we would never be able to return from.

And when I told you I wasn't ready to leave you for anything in this world, that the year left for us was not going to be snatched away from me just because of some money, it only made everything worse.

There was something inside your mind.

And when I found out what it was, life was no longer the same.
