Kendra opened the door and stepped outside, closing it behind her. Madi strained to hear what was being said. She could hear Rob’s muffled voice. A few seconds later, Kendra stepped back into the room with dread on her face.
“What?” Madi asked.
“He left.”
Madi gasped.
Kendra quickly followed it up as she stretched out her hand. “But he’ll be back. Rob said he’d be right back. He just went to the bathroom.”
Madi sighed and rattled her head. “Maybe it’s for the best. I’m not sure Ishouldhear what he has to say. It’ll just be another one of his stories. I’ll probably fall for his sad eyes and soothing voice. I could never trust him again. He lies every chance he gets. Says he’s ‘protecting’ me. It’s all lies, every single word.” Madi paced for a few moments before she stopped and wavered. “It’s over. I’m done. Go tell Rob I don’t want him to come back. Tell him I said good-bye.”
“Are you sure?” Kendra asked.
Madi took a breath and swallowed hard. “Yeah… I’m sure.”
