Chapter 34

• They were on the couch, the pain in her shoulder had died down after a few hours, but the other was still there. She was regretting that she had thrown the meds away. They would have numbed more than just her arm. Her eyes were swollen and red. She had been crying for a while, regretting her decision, she wanted him back, whether or not he wanted to trust her, she didn’t care anymore, he loved her and she loved him, the rest could all go to hell. She opened her eyes and looked at Maria.
• “I gave him an ultimatum.” The word felt like hot coal on her tongue.
• “What do you mean?” Maria stroked her hair back and wiped the fresh flow of tears from her cheek.
