''I need some time." His voice had lowered.
''Terry, I um...'' I trailed off, I have to tell him something just as heavy, so he won't think he's the only one hurting. I'm hurting too, and I've never told him, just like he's never told me. The things I've been holding within me has to be revealed to Terry. I never felt the need to reopen my barely closed case to anyone, but right now, it was beyond necessary. I know what it's like to grieve for a loss. I relate so heavily. I'm a sorrowful victim of rape, and a form of neglect. I know pain.
I decided on ambushing Terry with my problems. Better to rush it out of me, then slowly ease it in to him.
''Terry... I was raped!'' As the words left my lips, I immediately teared up, and was keen on rushing everything else. Terry turned to meet my eyes. ''My parents thought I admitted to being raped to cover up losing my virginity. They didn't believe me!" I looked into Terry's sorrowful eyes and for once my pain and sorrow had outdone his.

The world was indeed a very small, cramped space, because the thought that I would see him again never crossed mind.
The years changed him. The loving, laid-back man I used to love was gone, and in his place is a cruel, calculating hunter. I didn't care though, we were through and the love I felt for him was long buried in the past.
Was it?
Husband
She goddamned left me. No how, no why. She just fucking left and she thought she was fucking badass enough to kill. She doesn't have a fucking clue that she was about to flick a fire to a hive of criminals. Fuck!
I anticipated every second of meeting her again, because now that I caught her, there was no fucking letting go.
