Letting Her Go...
He sat in at his office, taking in the morning around him. He was depressed. He blew it. She wasn’t ready. *But I AM!!!!*
She was perfect, everything he wanted in life, captured in one smile, one person. Pure and beautiful. He loved her so much.
He had never felt such a bond and such an understanding as he had when he was with her. She was so special…a delicate moon beam, right in his hands, which so quickly vanished.
It wasn’t going to be the same anymore. Whenever he stood with her, or danced with her, he’d know, that deep inside, she didn’t love him, and the pain of having her in his arms, but not having her in his heart, was too much to bear.
He was going to let her go. She had to realize it too. And this was the only way.
Besides, it was best for them right now anyway, because he couldn’t stand to look into her eyes again without those feelings he wanted in there.
“Darien Dresdale announced earlier today outside the White House that he and Serena Larynce will not marry, and that the engagement just isn’t working out. Larynce is in hiding in her Cambridge home, she refuses to give a press release.”
Serena stared at the radio as she heard it.
He had broken it off.
It was not possible. It couldn’t be.
He had broken it off.
It was three in the morning, and she had just settled down at her bed after furiously cleaning her Cambridge home. She had thought all day after that revelation, and decided that she needed to stay busy, because the revelation scared her.
She WANTED to marry him. She loved him. She wanted to be loved by him. It was a risk, but not worth it, definitely. She was willing to take the risk, and yet, the risk wasn’t there because she knew he already loved her. Loving him was one of the best things she had ever done, because loving him made her feel whole.
Love wasn’t the weakness. It was the strength.
She shivered as she thought of her revelation again, the words echoing in her mind. She wanted him to love her.
The song was important. The song knew. And now, she knew.
She loved him. He loved her. They could get married. And she could live happily ever after. It was all so perfect it was scary.
As she sat back in bed, she had turned on the all news radio station, and had just heard that her fiancee had called it off.
It was then she realized that he might not love her anymore.
Of course she was angry.
She immediately picked up the phone and got Dredsdale’s apartment in Washington. Of course, an answering machine picked up.
“Dredsdale here, but busy. Leave a message.”
“DREDSDALE!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN IN BREAKING OFF OUR ENGAGEMENT? WE HAD AN ARRANGEMENT!” Not really realizing why she had called, she hung up, shocked at herself.
As she breathed heavily, looking at the phone, she started to cry even harder.
The engagement was off, and the chapter was closed.
He didn’t love her anymore.
