Sebastian's POV
“Scar, “I take her arm gently and she instantly swingsoff, “1-"
She glares at me, waiting impatiently.
Seeing her cold eyes hurts. Pain grabs my chest, but I'm hopeless and powerless in front of such pain. There is

She knows | left Ava in the hospital to chere, and before when I did that for her, her whole face would light

little fox.
But now she doesn’t even look at me.

to say.
Scar rolls her eyes, and turns to leave.
“I'll give you what you want!” | blurt, knowing it’s the only thing | can say to stop her from leaving, “I will sign
the divorce papers...if that’s what you REALLY want.”
Scar stops, turns around, looks atbefore her eyes dart to my empty hands, and then she looks back at me.
She didn’t say a word, and somehow she managed to write “impatience” in her every move.
“I just...” | force my tongue to roll when hope drains from me, Would all this still happen, if | didn’t take that brief

her hand, because | was in a hurry to go to comfort Ava
Is that what she is here for? To meet with Adrian?
| suddenly realize Scar wasn’t stalling when she fumbled with her words back then. It was because of the throat-
cutting pain when you see someone you care about look at you with a cold, emotionless look that tells you that
they don’t care about you.
Like the one she is givingright now.
What did | say back then? | said | didn’t have tfor her games. The light in her eyes went out after | said that,
and only now did | realize, | never even got to know what she wanted to ask, because now | don’t know how to
ask her the question | wanted to ask.
Her look says it all-no matter what my question is, it won't matter.

“Wh-when did | lose you?” | ask her, my words cutting open my throat, but | just want to know, even though |

Scar sighs, her watery purple eyes filled with resignment. She doesn’t want to answer, but she is already doing
much better than how | reacted to her in the ssituation.
