Chapter 12

SOPHIE

It’s Tank’s first game of the season, and I feel like an absolute bitch. I’ve been up and walking around for at least a week now. It’s hard, but it’s manageable. Going to his game would have been challenging, but I would have had Dani there to help me. So when he asked if I was feeling up to it, I gave him the same response I’ve been giving him since the attack.

I declined.

Not once in the time that I’ve been with him have I missed a game, except for maybe once in college when I was still denying that there was anything between us. I feel terrible, but at the same time, how can I allow myself to go out and enjoy my life when I’ve killed my child?

It’s not fair to him, and it’s certainly not fair to Tank.

I should be miserable.

He should hate me.

Things between us have certainly been rough, and quite frankly, I don’t know what he’s still doing here. Why hasn’t he left yet? He tells me every day that he loves me, and I believe him. I just don’t understand how he could.

He deserves so much better than that. He deserves a woman who’s going to treat him like the king that he is, the way I used to. I so desperately want to be that woman for him, to have the old me back, but how could I? After my selfish actions took our son away and almost took my own life?

I see the tortured look in his eyes every time he sees me. He will stare into my eyes with love, which gives me hope that maybe he can forgive me, but then his eyes travel down my body, and that love turns to rage. The second he’s reminded that I bear no child in my womb, there’s nothing but pure heartache on his face.

How could a man be happy in a relationship when every time he looks at his wife, he’s reminded of what was taken from him?

God, I’m so desperately in love with him that this whole situation tears me up inside. Why didn’t I just leave the Baxter case alone? The fucker has gotten away with it, so it was all for nothing anyway.

I’ve ruined our lives for nothing.

My gaze travels down to the rings on my finger, and my heart begins to ache. The thought of leaving has circled my mind over the past couple of weeks, purely for the fact that Tank deserves better. The idea of leaving him destroys me, but I need to do it. I need to get away, and I need to give him space to move forward.

He’s been so consumed with anger, and he needs to let it go, but in order for him to do that, I need to be gone. The anger will stay as long as he’s looking at me every day. I’m the constant reminder of what he’s lost.

It’s selfish of me to stay, yet it’s selfish for me to go.
