Iris:
I listened silently.
I watched Kash pour his heart out, turning to Lara as if to show he had already moved on. A little too quickly.
It was honestly heartbreaking.
I felt a pain inside me that I could not even express. I remained silent because I had to. There was nothing I could say.
They had seen all the evidence. They called me names, things I was afraid my children might hear, afraid they would hate me for it.
But what hurt the most was the anger in Kash's eyes.
He knew I had loved him deeply and unconditionally. And I knew he had loved me too.
But today, when he spoke to me, there was no love in his voice. That was understandable.
He thought I had cheated on him. He believed I had cheated on him.
When he finally made his threat, he turned to look at Lara, who was standing beside the car.
She was smiling widely.
Then she quickly forced a sad expression onto her face because Kash was not looking at her.
It felt as if I had lost all sense of time.
