Chapter 33

*Leonora*

Who was he to tell me that I left! He punished me! He exiled me! And yet he's saying it's my fault he slept, was sleeping, with someone else. Why didn't he give me the same grace when he saw me with Noah? Instead he wanted me to join him and that girl. 

What did he take me for? I wasn't just a random girl that he could take advantage of. I was a human being and I deserved love like everyone else. I deserved someone to take care of me and treat me right. 

Maybe Bethany was right. Maybe I just needed to accept his rejection and get this over with. This felt like torture, having to relive the past over and over again. I couldn't do it. I couldn't bear to remember how Noah died. It was all my fault. All mine.
