Chapter 72: The Stares

~~~I know I can't take one more step towards you, 'cause all that's waiting is regret. Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore? You lost the love I loved the most. I have grown too strong to ever fall back in your arms. I've learned to leave half alive and now you want me

Jack and I exchanged glances and I know she knew what I have in mind.

"Good!" Jack exclaimed and Paul turned to her with a smile. "Do you have any idea what happened to their marriage?"

"No." He shook his head. "Why? What happened?" Then he turned to me.
