"We have to talk" I started. "You think?" he raised his eyebrowes. "I'm sorry for everything I said yesterday." "Why? You meant what you said." "I was drunk!" I felt strikes of pain in my head as I was raising my voice. "Never mind." He stood up and walked away. I followed him. "Stop. Mark, please.." "What?!" he turned around facing me and I saw his dissapointment. "I'm sorry for what I've said." "Don't be. Atleast now I know where we stand." His voice was so cold I could feel shivers down my spine. "Please.." I said as I was about to cry. "What exactly do you want me to say? Everything is okay, honey? I forgot what you said? What?!" He went through his hair with his hands. I saw him struggling. "I didn't know you still feel that way about our marriage after all that has happened. If I had known, I swear to God, I would never touch you. Fuck, Lena, I started falling in love with you and than you go and say something like that. Fuck! You know what, don't worry. I won't be in your way. You just do whatever you want with your life not minding the stranger you're married to." "Mark.." I stopped him by grabbing his hand. I felt tears running down my cheeks.
