Ronald pov... It's been a while since I have heard from Divine. I know that she's angry at me for not being able to tell her the truth about me. I wanted to say to her but didn't want to hurt her.

I didn't tell her because I knew that the moment I told her the truth, she would not accept it, or she would not be wheeling to forgive her friend or me for lying to her. It was not my plan to lie; it's not like I wanted to do it. I did it because I had no choice. I was protecting her, and I was watching her feelings. I was saving her from him. I'm not this person, and I'm nothing without her. She makes me a better person. She makes me want to change my ways and become a new version of myself. I do not see any other life without her.

YOU MAKE ME INSECURE Chapter 19: Fragile Reunion
(Divine's Perspective) I've spent days in seclusion, lost in my thoughts and emotions. It's not like me to be so consumed by a relationship, to let it define my happiness. But this love, this connection with Ronald, it's different. No matter how much pain it has brought me, I can't easily let go of it My mother's words echo in my mind, urging me to fight for what makes me happy.

Everything seemed almost unchanged, with Ronald's pins and keys still occupying their familiar spots. "Ronald!" "Ronnie!" "Ron, are you home?" My voice echoed through the house, but there was no immediate response, leaving a hint of disappointment. "Guess he's in his study. Classic Ron," I muttered, knowing his habits all too well.
