He disappears from my side, and I hear the door open, every other sound around me disappears for a moment until I hear Sal’s voice cut through the distance followed by Amelia’s. She sounds angry and unforgiving, but Sal doesn’t change his demeanor in the slightest. Suddenly, the voices start to move closer, inching toward me, and I can hear how Amelia isn’t the same girl I loved before.
As I hear them in the hallway leading into Sal’s office, my breath becomes staccato bursts, and I feel like my heart is about to explode.
This is it, I think as I slump further into my chair.
“Zane?”
Her voice softens for a moment as confusion clouds her darkened nature at the sight of me, I’m sure.
She’s back, and I can’t even bring myself to look at her.
So much has happened since that night four months ago. Now, now so many lies, moments of guilt, deathly midnight hours exist, and I don’t know how I’ll be able to look her in the eyes ever again.
No one said the third time was meant to be easy. I just never expected it to be this difficult.
Now the real fight begins – the one to win Amelia back.
Wish me luck.
