Picasso's War

His silence gave me my answer but I still can’t believe it. I can’t believe I fell for someone like him. I wipe my tears as I sniffle my words out "Why did you lie to me." "I can explain, I love yo-" "No, you don’t." I cut him off not wanting to hear those words from him. I think I have heard enough of his lies but not anymore. "You don’t love me, you never did." "Just let me explain." He says "No, I won’t. Because I do, you will lie again and lying isn’t love." I say as I felt my throat close up. He stayed silent probably because he doesn’t know what to say to me. How would he, words cannot explain the lies he has told me and the heartbreak that I am going through right now. ———————————————————— The book starts with the protagonist Ivy, whose life evolves with parties and one-night stands but that ended after the death of her boyfriend Evan.
