Tanners Pov.
„You did know it, right?"
Her voice was so broken,
so calm,
too calm.
I couldn't bring out a word.
She wasn't laying on the rug anymore.
She just sat there, with legs like a mermaid,
but her face showed even more pain, than Arielle
had felt when every step was like a knife running through her bare feet.

I nodded.
She wasn't moving.
She wasn't breathing.
My heart was beating too fast.

„But it is not how you think"
I gave her my hand.
To stand up again.

She stood up on her own.
Showed me her back.
Wasn't saying anything.
And then, then she threw the vase.

I couldn't do anything beside watching the beautiful pattern, the beautiful porcelain shattering in thousand of pieces.
They were lost forever.

„Your such a son of a bitch.
You showed me your fucking back when I needed you the most.Called me insane when I was in the divorce trial.
Kept the children away from me.
Stolen my whole life.
Slept properly with Lacey after I was gone for 5 minutes.
And then I came back.
And you. „
She pointed her trembling finger at me.
„And you acted like you missed me.
Acted like you felt in love with me again.
Acted like you cared."

She stopped again.
I felt the goosebumps all over my arms.
And then she started to cry.
„ Did you know that you were the only man I ever loved?"
I wanted to answer her so badly but she didn't give me a chance.
„But congratulations you broke me again."
With this last words she took the glas of the working desk.
Threw it in my direction and left the room.

I can imagine them having a conversation like this inbetween the books.
