I just need five minutes. You have five. She wiped her face. I left Trevor. I know.
I left him a long time ago. I know that, too. She looked surprised. How people talk? She nodded.
He took almost everything I had. I didn't respond. I had to start over, she continued. I worked two jobs. I sold almost everything.
I spent months trying to get my money back. Did you? No. She looked down. But that's not why I'm here, I crossed my arms.
Then why are you here? She looked directly at me. Because I made the biggest mistake of my life. I said nothing. I thought I knew what love was, she said.
I thought what I felt for him meant something bigger than what we had. You didn't just think it. I know. You told me. I know.
You left me for him. Her voice cracked. I know. And now you're here. Yes.
Why? She took a shaky breath. Because I still love you. The words hung between us. I didn't move.
Nicole stepped closer. I've spent two years thinking about you, about our marriage, about everything I threw away. You had plenty of time to think before you left. I was stupid. You were certain.
She closed her eyes. I was convinced I had found real love. And now, now I know I was wrong. I looked at her for several seconds. What do you want from me?
She hesitated. I want another chance. I almost laughed. Instead, I shook my head. No.
Her expression collapsed. Samuel, please. No. You haven't even thought about it. I don't need to.
We were married for 1two years and you ended it. I know. You chose another man. You moved away with him. I know.
You told me he was your real love. Tears ran down her cheeks. I was wrong. You were free to be wrong. She looked at me.
But I'm not going to pay for it. She stared at me as if she hadn't expected those words. I'll do anything. No, I'll go to counseling. No, I'll spend years proving it to you.
No, she stepped closer. Don't you have any feelings left for me? I answered honestly. I have memories. She looked down.
That isn't the same thing. No. For a moment, she said nothing. Then she whispered. Is there someone else?
