When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Clyde collapsed, halting any further conversation in its tracks.

Everyone followed the paramedics out, leaving me alone in the conference room.

Fenton was the last to leave, but he paused and turned back to me.

No matter his condition, he only wanted to see Rachel.

Fenton glanced outside, then approached me.

"Don't take it too hard, Melanie. Clyde... he'll come around."

"When will that be?"

As I watched everyone leave, my gaze was unfocused.

If he never comes around, is this how it's going to be forever?

Remembering his words, accusing me of being at fault, sent shivers down my spine.
