Now they were listening.
Because history had changed.
Camille slowly moved away from him.
-It’s true?
Leonard did not respond.
And that silence…
That was enough.
« I can’t believe it… » she murmured.
She took off her ring.
And he dropped it.
The sound was small.
But definitely.
« I won’t marry a man who abandons his children, » she said.
He turned around.
And he left.
Leonard was left alone.
Again.
But this time…
powerless.
« Isabella… » he said, desperately. « We can fix this. »
I denied it.
—I didn’t come here to fix anything.
I looked at my children.
—I came to close up.
Ethan stepped forward.
—We don’t need you.
Noah added:
—We never did.
The words were simple.
But devastating.
Leonard fell to his knees.
Not for love.
Due to loss of control.
I looked at him one last time.
And I felt no hatred.
Distance only.
« Try not to be embarrassed, » I said gently. « Remember that this… was your choice. »
