The pain was just too unbearable. The guilt she felt was killing her. Did she still love him? She did not know, but one thing was for sure. She still felt something for this man she tried to run away from and worked hard to forget.
"Jules, what have you done?" She stared at her reflection, suddenly seeing the naive girl who had met this incredible man.
