Aimee shook her head and laughed. “Why indeed.” For a moment, Aimee’s eyes searched the room as she tried to find the right words. Elin deserved to know the truth no matter how much it might hurt her. When she had entered the apartment earlier and saw Elin’s swollen, red-rimmed eyes, and haggard look, she knew the girl hadn’t slept in days. Aimee’s heart went out to Elin for she knew exactly what she was feeling. The doctor looked beyond Elin’s outward appearance and saw something else—a sweet innocence. Marissa certainly knew how to pick the most vulnerable women.

“Answer my question,” Elin growled. “Tell me why you keep going back.”

“Because I truly believe that she will finally realize I am the one.” Aimee lifted one shoulder. “Hope springs eternal. After all this time you’d think I’d know better.” She touched Elin’s hand. “I know how you feel.”

“No, you don’t. How could you? You have no idea how I feel.”

“Yes, I do,” Aimee said. “I’ve been where you are now, and I can guarantee there is no forever where Marissa is concerned.”

“No, you’re wrong.” Elin swiped at her tear-filled eyes.

“Elin, is your heart breaking more than you ever thought possible?” Aimee asked softly.

“Yes.”

“Has anyone ever hurt you like this before?”

“No.”

“If she walked through your door right now what would you do? Pummel her and throw her out?”

“I couldn’t do that to her.”

“If she called you on the phone and said, ‘I want to meet you’ what would you do?”

“I’d go to her.”

“Why?”

Aimee saw the dawning of the realization on Elin’s face. She was finally beginning to understand what Aimee was telling her. Marissa was in Elin’s blood and there was no way to eradicate her.

“She was my first. I thought it would be forever.”

Empathy for Elin welled in Aimee’s heart for she knew exactly how she felt. Aimee put her arm around the young woman and pulled her close.

“Forever for Marissa is from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon at the most. Some don’t even get that. Oh, she will call you occasionally, and you will go to her because you can’t help yourself. You tell yourself that this time will be different and this time she will stay. The sad truth, Elin, is that she never does.”

“No, I won’t go to her. I will never let her in again.”

“Yes, you will.”
