Chapter 75
Sylvie kept wondering if it was only a coincidence that Lancelot ended up shot after his argument with Lana in the bar the previous day. The coincidence was alarming, but the last thing Sylvie wanted was to get involved in any more drama than she was already in. Kage kept calling her the whole day. She knew he must know where she was but wanted to give her some privacy. A little seemed to have changed with him. But unfortunately, she needed to end things with him. Later in the evening, she called him to make sure he was home, then went to his place.
Her nervousness increased with each step that brought her closer to his doorstep. I need to do this-she kept telling herself. For her family, for the kids. But it wasn't for herself. No. Because what herself would have wanted was to give the Hawkins the middle finger and go for who she wanted. But she wasn't living for herself anymore.
She met Kage in the living room-wearing shorts and a vintage top. He looked so good in it, she wondered how she'd managed to be around him all this while without drooling.
"Hey." He tipped his chin at her. "How are you doing?"
The way he looked at her, it was as though he knew something was wrong, and she was about to say something even more
wrong
"I'm good." She swallowed. "Uh... I heard what happened with Lancelot. Sorry about..."
"He's still alive, just unconscious," he cut her off. "And you should know I don't give a damn about him."
Well, neither did Sylvie. The man had been a pain in her as** for years; she wasn't surprised anyone would hold enough of a grudge to want to kill him.
"I'm glad you're home." Kage adjusted in his seat. "You should..."
"I came to get my things." Her heart jumped into her throat as she spoke. She wasn't looking at him now. Of course, she couldn't.
"I'm sorry, Kage. I thought about what you said, and I... I don't think I can do this. I can't be with you."
The words expected it
ed bitter on her tongue. She never realized how much she wanted to be with him until now. She never feel such pain.
The way he stayed
silent, his cold eyes fixed on her, troubled her more than she cared to admit. She never knew a day would come when she'd give a damn about Kage's reaction.
"You and I, we can't be together. Go be with Lana, or anyone you want to. But it can't be me." She exhaled deeply. "We'll co- parent, if possible. But that's the only form of relationship we can have, Kage." In a more broken voice, she added, "I'm sorry, Kage." She went up the stairs. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she gathered her things. He didn't say anything. God, for the first time, silence killed her.
