Chapter 102

• It took me about half an hour before I could walk into the bathroom. On the counter stood an empty container of pain pills next to an empty bottle of wine. Except for the tub, the rest of the bathroom was spotless. Rivulets of blood marked the otherwise white tub and it took me back to finding Sloan. He had cut his wrists too.
• That’s when I broke down and cried, sitting on the bathroom floor next to the tub where I could still smell her perfume. Deep down I knew that this was a choice that she had made but I couldn’t help feeling that I might have pushed her towards that choice.
• I had been cruel, I’d ruined her life after I promised her the world. I’d loved her completely for a long time but I’d also treated her like dirt. I’d taken her daughter away from her and I’d rejected her after she’d given me the most precious thing in this world.
