has
been easy for him going without that intimacy for so long,
unless…no he wouldn’t. My heart couldn’t stand the thought so I
shied away from it.
    "I don't hate you Madelyn, I'm just;
I need time to think about what I want. I'm not gonna lie to you,
right now I don't know what I really feel, I do know that I don't
want you away from me with my kid inside you, let that be enough
for now. As to what you're saying we'll see, I don't want to miss
out on anything ether but I don't see how we can share those things
with things being the way they are. I can't sleep with you because
I'll want you and I won't touch you feeling the way I do, that'll
be an insult to the memory of what we had. I can promise to try to
let go of some of my anger but it's not gonna happen overnight I'm
sorry."
    I cried for the second time that day
as my heart broke inside, he really was gone from me. Even though
the words had been spoken calmly instead of the anger of late, I
finally accepted. My Dominic was never going to love me the way he
once did. In that moment I believed if not for the child in my womb
I might've ended my life so absolute was the pain in my
soul.

Chapter 6
     
    I wish I could say her tears moved
me and all was forgiven but that's not how it went. I let her cry
it out until she was done then set her aside to get her something
to drink. Everything I did was for my kid, I won't say I wished her
ill but I really didn't care about her one way or the other, not
right now. There's no way that she could make me understand how she
could've done it, she was supposed to be mine, in love; was love so
fickle that a bout of loneliness could make you stray? I don't
know, I never thought so, I would never have done that to her not
in a million fucking years and I've had opportunities. Even now,
feeling the way I do, I couldn't see myself going out there and
putting my hands on another woman.
     
     
     
    That evening I did something really
fucked up. She made dinner and set the table, I guess she knew
better than to call me to dinner but I knew she wanted me to sit
with her and eat at least. But I couldn't give her even that and it
pissed me the fuck off that she kept trying. So instead I walked
right pass her at the table, took my keys off the hook by the door,
slammed out the house and drove down the mountain.
    I had no real destination in mind,
wasn't going anywhere in particular until I ended up at the only
diner in the small town. People called out hello when I walked to
the back of the place to take a booth. I just waved and kept going
I didn't want to talk to anyone. Her friend Brenda was sitting with
a group of women and gave me the eye. Skanky twat, she probably
thought the coast was clear now that Maddy and me were on the
outs.
    One of Maddy’s friends Donna came
over and said hi. Donna was cool people, she was nothing like
Brenda, at least not as far as I could tell from the few times we’d
met. She looked miserable as shit as she approached me. “Dominic I
don’t mean to get in your business and I can’t really talk here but
I think there was something more going on that night at the bar.”
What the fuck? I guess the murderous glare I gave her put the fear
of hell in her because she took a quick step back.
    “No not like that, I just mean Maddy
wasn’t acting herself you know? She’s never been a drinker and she
didn’t have that much to drink to begin with, but she started
acting really weird. I never had a chance to find out what was
going on with her because Brenda kept getting between us, but I
just thought you should know, I don’t think that what happened was
all Maddy’s fault.” The way she sneered at Brenda’s name made me
take notice.
    She walked off and went back to her
table with her family as I perused the room. The only one who
seemed interested in our conversation was none other than Brenda
herself.
    It didn't take her long to saunter
over to my table with her sugary sweet smile. I didn't stop her
when
