"Amari, believe me, I really didn’t mean to stand you up that day. If you want to get married, I’ll arrange it. Let’s get the license tomorrow, okay?"
Scoffing, I replied, "No need."
Travis asked anxiously, "Amari, why are you so stubborn?"
Yes, if I hadn’t been so stubborn, I wouldn’t have loved him for nine years to the point of losing my self-esteem. I endured his neglect and abandonment time and again for Solana. But this time, I was exhausted. I no longer had the energy to be with him.
With scars all over my heart, I left the home I had shared with Travis for two years. This time, he didn’t chase after me.
