Damian.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but everything Kate had told me in my office kept swirling through my mind. The entire evening I had spent with Ivy and the others, I couldn’t help but think how Kate was right.
I needed to be honest with Ivy. I couldn’t keep hiding the truth.
I didn’t explain everything because some things were too hard for me to explain, but I let her know what I was doing. I told her I was going, and it was to help fix whatever the hell was going on with me.
Ivy deserved to know, just in case something bad happened.
I didn’t want her thinking my demise was her fault. I loved her more than I realized.
Before the sun had risen across the horizon, I had slipped from my bed where Ivy laid sleeping and prepared to leave. Walking around the room, my eyes darted to her angelic sleeping figure.
She was extraordinarily beautiful in every way possible, and even though she didn’t find herself attractive with her massive protruding belly… I did.
