Resent, Reject, Regret

Before Deirdre’s voice died away, Kyran’s lips kissed hers. Deirdre wrapped an arm around his neck and sobbed for the last time with her trembling lips.

When the kiss ended, she said calmly, “I’m leaving tomorrow.”

Kyran took a deep breath, and his astounded, dark eyes turned bleak. “Stop joking with me.”

“I’m not joking with you.” Deirdre was solemn. “I’m telling the truth.”

“I shall believe you didn’t take it upon yourself and do it on purpose.” Kyran wiped away the tear streaks on her face affectionately. “Deirdre, I won’t let you go. I’ll never do that again.”

Deirdre was stunned. Soon afterward, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and her shoulders were bouncing from how profusely she cried.

Kyran wrapped his arms around her while Deirdre asked in a muffled voice, “Why? Why do you trust me so much?”

Kyran said, “It’s because you’re Deirdre, and that is all the reason I need.”

He loosened his embrace and asked when she grew tired from crying, “So, are you going to tell me what is going on now?”
