~~~SLOANE’S POV~~~ People think heartbreak is loud. That when your world shatters there is screaming, crying, chaos. But that is not true. The moment your life truly breaks… everything becomes very quiet. The air feels thick. Sounds stretch strangely. Time slows until every second feels like it is dragging its nails across your skin. I learn that on my wedding night. Two hours ago, my husband leaves our bed in the middle of making love to me. He kisses my cheek like nothing is wrong, slides out of bed, and tells me he has to handle something important downstairs. His voice is calm. Casual. Almost distracted. I laugh softly and tell him not to take too long. I think he will be back in a few minutes. After all, Jophiel has been my world for five years. My first love. My first everything. The man I trust enough to save myself for. He is my husband now, and like a good wife, I wait. At first it is easy. I lie there in the silk sheets, replaying the evening in my head, smiling

I stand near the edge of the restaurant, trying to breathe through the heat crawling up my chest. My head is pounding, and my thoughts are loud, messy, and colliding into each other. I came here for a reason. I had something to do. Something important. I can not even remember what it was now. All I can see is her face when I hit her. All I can feel is how easy it was. “Sloane.” I close my eyes for a second. There it is again. That voice. I turn slowly. Selena is walking toward me, Jophiel a step behind her. They are not hesitant.
