I sat motionless on the couch, my eyes fixed on the TV screen watching Sebastian's press conference. Each word that came out from his mouth, felt like a physical blow, chipping away at my already messy state of mind.
So, this was why he had demanded we go our separate paths the other day. This was the choice he was talking about.
"…I want to make it clear that there is no ongoing relationship either romantic or platonic between myself and Miss Winchester. We wish each other well and hope we'll remain friends in the future, ".
The remote slipped from my numb fingers, clattering to the floor but I barely noticed. It was Sebastian's face on the screen that I was looking at. His face remained impassive, his eyes were cold and distant. It was as if the man who had made love to me passionately a few days ago… the man I had yearned for all these years… had never existed.
