Broken Bonds: I want her back
Finally, Hazel spoke, her voice devoid of emotion.
"I'll move out by tomorrow," she said, the flatness of her tone sending a fresh wave of terror through me.
"No, Hazel, please," I pleaded, desperation clawing at my throat. "Let me explain, let me…"
But the look in her eyes, a heart devoid of hope, cut me off. This wasn't about explanations anymore. It was about the wreckage I'd created, and the future I'd managed to single-handedly destroy. With a final, heart-wrenching look, Hazel turned and walked back towards the house, leaving me alone on the swing set, the weight of my deceit a crushing burden on my soul.
