confusion etches itself into her features , brows knitting together and mouth opening to say something , anything about his ill timed observation but she can't even seem to formulate proper sentences anymore . the chaos of her mind and the inability to fathom how the fuck this could have happened sending her into a downward spiral . wants to agree , it shouldn't be hard to forget someone who's broken her heart , completely shattered it , in fact . but the truth of the matter is , it does not change the way she feels . . . she was going to marry him . it might have been fun and games to him but it was real for her . how could she have been so blind . heart beats in her throat , bile rising at the idea of her fiance fucking other women in their bed . gaze fixes itself back on cedar , and she feels like she's losing her mind . the way he's acting almost as if trying to convince her of something even he has a hard time believing . ‘ no . . . no , don't give me that shit ⸻ say what you really want to say . ’
