The Words That Broke Me-kybie

“Then explain!” I cried.

Tears rolled freely down my face now.

“Explain why my daughter is saying ‘let’s do it again’ to her own father!”

He went silent again.

And that silence…

Was louder than any confession.

My legs gave way.

I sank to the floor.

Shattered.

Broken.

Destroyed.

“I trusted you…” I whispered.

“I left her with you…”

My entire body trembled.

Behind the door—

I could hear Olivia humming softly.

Playing.

Unaware.

Unaware that her world…

Had just been destroyed.

I slowly looked up at him.

My eyes filled with something new now.

Not just pain.
