Fated Tragedy
I had never heard him spit such venom.
And yet I couldn’t look away from the woman. Amy. The way she stared at him with wide, breaking eyes, the way the hope drained out of her face like a candle guttering in the wind—it made my chest ache. She had loved him. She had wanted him. Her entire life must have been bent toward this moment, only for him to destroy it with one strike of rejection.
She opened her mouth to speak, but before a single word left her lips, the world collapsed. Darkness swallowed everything, ripping her from me, pulling me down into silence.
