The second Maria heard the door close behind Henri, she dropped to the floor and started sobbing uncontrollably.
'How could I have been so wrong about him?' she thought to herself.
She was really starting to question her judgement of character, but at that moment, she also did not care about anything other than the fact that she was left behind by someone she thought had loved her unconditionally.
Someone she had also been slowly, but surely, falling in love with.
Her whole body ached and she fought for air as the bathroom door opened and Arthur came and sat directly in front of her.
She had completely forgotten that he was in there, and she felt mortified over the fact that he was present for everything that had just happened.
Maria didn't look up at him, out of shame, so she had no idea what state he was currently in.
Arthur did not say anything and made no effort to comfort her as he usually did, he just sat with her as she sobbed.
