26 EDITH Don't leave. I miss him. Forget it. I want to see him again. Erase him from your life. I never forgot him. He got you fired. He did what I never dared to do even though I hated my job and Simon Forrest. You can't let him get away with that. Forgive him. For everything. He'll make you suffer again. He's changed. I felt like I had doubled over. One part of me wanted to regain the reins of my life and return to wearing the ice queen mask that distinguished me, while another part wanted to throw itself into the void, hoping Jake would catch me. The more I thought about Jake, the more I realised that I had put my life on standby since we had broken up.
