Let's start

---------------------

"You did?"

She nodded.

"He didn't fight for you. That's a big part of what tore your marriage apart. You needed him to show you he cared and he didn't. I'm showing you that I'll never stop caring. I'll chase you to the ends of the earth."



"and I love you so much because of that. You'll never understand how much I appreciate you fighting when I was too afraid to."

"I love you."

She wrapped her arms around me suffocatingly tight and I held on like a lifeline.

"I need to go to home, alone."

I expelled on an exhale. A little afraid of her reaction.

"I have to go to Jeju Island."

Relief consumes me. I'm so glad she's not fighting me on this.

"How long will you be gone?"

"A day maybe two. What about you?"

"With my family there's no telling."

I laughed humorlessly.

"You've got to stop running and talk to me." She says holding my face in her large hands.

"I know I act fucking crazy when it comes to you but I need you. We're a train wreck but we can work on it."

"I'll try."

"I like you're friend. He's good for you."

"Me too."

"I have to remember to apologize."

"He knows your reaction wasn't about him."

"How long do we have before you leave?"

"I would like to get there before dark."

"Come here." She says gesturing toward the bed. I comply laying next to her. She wraps her arm around my middle keeping me close as we lay together. Our last few moments of peace before we part ways.

"Will you ever tell me why you left him for dead?"

I don't have to say his name we both know who I'm referring to.

"I already have."

"Not the details." I complain. "Baby, please."

She exhales as if talking about her past sucks all the life out of her.

"I can't."

"You're never going tell me?"

"It's not important."

"If you won't talk to me, will you talk to someone else?"

"Someone like a shrink?"

"You've been through so much. I applaud you for coming out of it stronger but you can't heal yourself with bandaids. I wish I could save you but I can't. You need to talk to someone."

It was probably a long shot asking her to talk to a therapist about her feelings but it was what she needed. What we needed to have a fresh start.

"Okay." She says simply.

"Okay?" I expected more of a fight.

"I promised you I would be better. I'll talk to someone."

"Thank you." I say turning to embrace her.
