Derek's heart raced at Tabitha's sudden question. Admitting his regained sight in this situation was akin to signing his own death warrant.Derek, of course, wouldn't admit it!"Tabitha, I wish I could see too, just to stop being a burden to you," he said with a pained expression."Don't move. I'll get you some paper," she replied."Alright," he replied.He saw Tabitha wrap herself in a bathrobe, grab a dagger from under the pillow, and head his way.She was eyeballin' him like she could see right through him.Derek could tell she was suspicious.If she found out he'd been faking blindness, he was a goner.His heart was in his throat, but he didn't show it.Letting the blood drip, he asked like a dope, "Tabitha, where are you? Did you come back?"Tabitha walked up to him, put down the tissue, and said casual-like, "I'm here."Suddenly, she yanked the knife out. The blade flew past Derek's eye, stoppi

"Imagine if someone sees us," the woman whispered."At this hour? Who's around?" the man replied. "Besides, who'd bother watching such a thing?"The village was small, and Tabitha recognized most of its inhabitants. But the couple before her were neither married nor lovers.The woman was the sister-in-law of the man, whose husband had been paralyzed in a fall two years prior.Unable to bear her loneliness, she had taken up with her brother-in-law.In the city, affairs were common—discovery might lead to divorce. But in the village, divorce was unheard of; if discovered, her punishment would be death.That's why they sought privacy in this secluded spot.People usually returned home by this time, leaving only Tabitha and Derek, who were clearly not thinking straight.Derek began to speak, "Tabitha—"Before he could finish, Tabitha clamped a hand over his mouth.Derek had only recently arrived and was un

Derek whispered into her ear, "Tabitha, why can you forgive everyone else but be so cruel to me?"Tabitha stared into his eyes and said firmly, "Don't you know why?"Derek sighed and rested his head on her neck. "The past can't be changed, and the hurt is already done. What more can I do to make it up to you? I only have this life to offer. If that's what you want, take it."She had never doubted that Derek would go to extremes for her—even when he detested her, he had followed her off the ledge.In moments of danger, he was always the one to shield her.Yet this same man, who had shown her such unparalleled care, had also wounded her the deepest."I don't want your life. From now on, we're done," she declared.Derek gave a bitter laugh. "Tabitha, you've already taken my life."Years of longing had drained him.With one sentence, two layers of meaning, he shattered the frigid silence between them.His fingers delved beneath her loose top.Tabitha bit her lip. "You dare to touch me, an

Derek hung his head low. "I own up to my mistakes. Can you just give me a chance to make it right with you and the kid?""Nah, we're fine without you, Derek. The best thing you can do for me is just stay the hell away.""Tabitha, do you really hate me that much?""Yeah, I do. I hate you. I hate how you put me through all that hell. I hate how you spun this whole fucked-up dream for me and then ripped it all away. I hate that you made me into what I am today."Derek's gaze dimmed like the moon suddenly obscured by dark clouds.After a long silence, Derek muttered in a choked voice, "Sorry."He stared hard at Tabitha. "I lied to you again. My vision's back. I just kept pretending to be blind 'cause I didn't want to leave. You probably hate me even more now. I really don't wanna say sorry again, but I always fuck things up. In the end, I just end up hurting you again. You're right. I am selfish and obsessive. You must really regret knowing me."

Tabitha patted his shoulder. "Leave it to me. On my turf, I won't let him get hurt."Besides, she had planned to leave in a few days anyway. She was ready to head out."Please take good care of Mrs. Atkinson for me," she said."Tabitha, you can't. It's too dangerous," he urged."Look, I've done plenty of dangerous things before. What's one more?" she replied.With that, Tabitha used Derek's rope to find footholds and began her descent. Derek must have left at dawn; otherwise, the poor visibility would have been too risky.It had been a little over two hours since he left. If she hurried, she could catch up.This wasn't Tabitha's first time on this path.She had trained here before, using the cliffs as her challenge.Every time she thought of how the nurses and doctors looked at her after Derek was rushed to the emergency room, and the slap from Misha, she was reminded that she was an outsider in their world.Deter
