207 Compromise

Jack

He said he needed some alone time but it has already been a week. I hate the way this all feels final. Like this is just a continuation of his ultimatum. If I don't leave my job, he is letting me go.

"You can't be so sure,'' Lance bellows, almost like he read my mind. 

"He hasn't come home, he is not answering any of my calls,'' I cry as I slowly cover my face. 

I know this is all my fault but I feel like he would have made the same ultimatum if I didn't lie. Something about the way he has been acting since I told him about the kiss has been bothering me. 

All the years we have spent together and he couldn't find it in his heart to just trust that I wouldn't cheat on him. He still had doubts that I was one hundred percent with him. 

It just doesn't make any sense to me. 

I get that the natural reaction would be jealousy but not the kind that would end up ruining the relationship.
