Chapter 93

• "I know I keep messing everything up. Sophia, I'm trying. To do the right thing and prove to you how much I want you back. You seem to be remembering more and more and just give me a little time. For your memories, for me to prove how much I love you. I can feel it between us still, that you have feelings for me too. Give it a chance to grow, please.... Don't run away because I'm an idiot who does things wrong and hurts you without meaning to. I'm sorry. I'll learn... I'll change what needs to be changed. Just give me a chance."
• Sophia closes her eyes as a tear escapes and rolls down her cheek. Ripped open by his pleading and sincere tone, his genuine remorse and apology. His needing to fix this craziness that exists between them. The way he hovers close but keeps his hands to himself because he knows she's upset at him, and Sophia of old didn't like touch when she was this strung out. He's inside her brain like a virus, controlling and pulling her in ways she cannot refuse. He breaks her repeatedly, which strengthens why she needs to end this. She was foolish to think she could resist the one man in the world who has always had full possession of her heart.
• Sophia pushes him back with her elbows and turns, sliding away from him, unable to lay her eyes on his face and aching all over. Pain and heaviness shoot up into her stomach because she's decided now, and she has to see it through. Sickened at what she has to do to make it happen, and Glenda was right; she knows this will hurt him more, but she's not going to hide it anymore. This will be the way to cut him off, make him let go. She knows him. He won't forgive the lies and deceit.
