Hearing his words at how hindsight was a bitch she wanted to agree, but she kept her mouth shut. A part of her felt like he didn’t want to talk anymore, and she didn’t blame him. After all the lies and betraying him if she was in his position, she would feel the same. Thankfully he had drunk the water, at least he was eating and drinking regardless on the quality of it. The bread was stale, and the water wasn’t purified, it was clear how the quality different from stuff in the Capital. Something she would never have known had she not eaten in the Capital, but he eating and drinking and that was something.

[color=f49ac2]“Yeah…”[/color] Standing back up she wondered what the time was, [color=f49ac2][i]I can’t risk him coming home and seeing this. It will only anger him.[/i][/color] [color=f49ac2]“I wish I could let you have ore sunlight, but he will hurt you for it.”[/color] Making her way to the small window she hooked the wooden slate back up making sure it was secure, the room enveloped in darkness once more and she grabbed the empty glasses from the cell. [color=f49ac2]“I’ll bring some more water later.”[/color] Hesitating as she wanted to say more, she decided against it, it wasn’t the time, or the place and she didn’t want to have anymore arguments. 

[color=f49ac2][i]I hope he will be okay. I’ve done such a terrible thing. [/i][/color]

Moving out of the basement she shut the door behind her gently as she headed into the kitchen to put away the glasses. There was no evidence that he had been given food or water so no reason her father would get mad if he came home. [color=f49ac2][i]But what do I do now?[/i][/color] Leaning against the kitchen side she looked out of the window watching for any passers-by, watching out for her father or Ethan but no one came. Not yet. Washing the dirty dishes that were in the sink she sighed as she thought on what had led her to this point in life, how had she become so disloyal and would betray someone. [color=f49ac2][i]Who am I?[/i][/color]

In a world of her own as she continued to wash the glasses with a dirty rag, she looked down seeing some plates alongside a few pieces of cutlery. Deciding that she may as well clean the rest whilst she was here, she continued to clean up the dirty dishes feeling on edge, scared of her own shadow. There was a pit in her stomach that she couldn’t explain right now and she had been so lost in her own thoughts she didn’t hear the sound of someone entering her home not until she felt someone wrap their hands around her waist. 

Gasping she instantly turned around slapping whomever it was, but when she saw the man stumble back after her hand connected with their face she cringed. [color=f49ac2]“Ah… Ethan. I.. I I’m sorry. I didn’t mean too. You startled me.”[/color]

Ethan nervously chuckled hiding the slight annoyance he felt at the fact she had hit him, rubbing his cheek from the hit as he looked at her “Ah no worries. I snuck up on you. It’s okay.”

[color=f49ac2]“What are doing here?”[/color] Tentatively asking as she looked at the door, no sign of her father just yet. 

“I came to check up on you and well… apologise. I know it’s not your fault for what happened. For cheating on me. I was mad, but I shouldn’t have taken it out on you.” Ethan coughed as he looked out of the window, he wasn’t really sorry but between his father and hers nagging at him to get back together with her this would be the easiest option. Apologise even though it wasn’t his fault.
