Excerpt
"I love you." Make those words make this right.
"I love you!" Aly's words are fierce as she demands me to hear them. "I've always loved you. Because despite all the betrayal and lies, I know it isn't your fault. It's mine. And maybe pity looks better on me than you. But I loved you way more than I ever knew I could. And I never want to love anyone else the way I allowed you to destroy me. How pathetic did it make me look?" Her face is in torment, and my air is choking for fresh starts.
"Don't say that. Don't ever say that, please." There is evidence in my eyes, and I don't want to release the pain yet. It is mine to be punished with.
"Okay, Lad, I think we've said enough." Alyeska wipes her face and hands, but I can't be done. She starts to walk away, and I follow her. Rush tries to stop me but it is impossible to let the woman I love more than swimming leave my life.
"It was real." I bend my head down to the grass.
"Maybe to you, but to me, I didn't know the difference." Aly doesn't look back as she walks away. I don't blame her. I don't blame anyone, except myself.
