While they held each other, Aiden could feel Sarah's shoulders shaking as she wept silently. He was surprised that previous time when jealousy consumed him, he felt overwhelmed with rage. But now he felt dispirited. He was never this low on energy. The only thing he wanted to do is to hold Sarah in his embrace and never let go. Gently, softly, never let go.
He wanted to see her face, but Sarah tightened her hug. She didn't want him to see her like that. She only whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Both of them felt miserable. Both of them were hurting and unable to comfort each other.
After some time, Sarah realized that she is not getting any better. And how long can they stay like that? She slowly moved away and lowered her head to wipe off her tears with her hand before looking up into his eyes. Aiden's face was desolate, which made the knot in her chest get tighter.
