“Are you feeling any better?” Aaron walked in. “Being interrogated by the police–how does it feel to be the first to do that to me?”
A deep–seated hatred filled my eyes. “Are you asking me if watching you, such a wicked demon, escape without a trace of punishment feels satisfying?”
I had known it would come to this, yet I couldn’t accept it.
Aaron brushed his fingers against my cheek. “Kaye, please don’t look at me like that. I can get hurt too.”

But I didn’t want to reconcile with him, nor could I imagine being without him.
I often thought about ending it all with him, to put an end to this madness.
