"Wait, why babe? Where are you going? Please don’t leave; I don't sleep as good without you in my arms." He pouted; his heart clearly hurting because he knew she was pulling away.

"I understand Tracie, and if you want to pull away that's fine. I will miss you, and it will hurt me to lose you but, if it’s the best thing for you, and that’s what you want all I can do is respect your decision and support you." He held her face delicately in his hands as he spoke fighting tears himself. "I don’t want to let you go, but if that's what you want, I will have no other choice but to respect that." A tear fell from his eye disguised in the falling rain.

“Well, I know but…we need to talk….about everything that’s happened this past few weeks. The attack, our baby, your suicide attempt. Everything. Were you really just going to leave me like that!? Without even saying goodbye!? After everything we’ve been through?” He was hurt and he was angry and Tracie understood.
