“Emotional damage and abuse, deceit, infidelity…” I suck in my breath as I try to hold back the tears lurking behind my eyes. The lawyer is quiet as he watches me with keen eyes. He hands me a tissue.
“You can be vulnerable around me. I'm your lawyer. It's really okay to cry, I won't judge you” he says.
But instead of his words giving me comfort, it makes me more angry. Men will always lie to you as much as they want. In the end, you'll only realize you were lied to. I hold his gaze for a few seconds before withdrawing my stare and rejecting his tissue.
“Just add up anything you want to add up. I have a flight to catch up” I sniff out and stand up. “I'll wait for your call, Mr. Sebastine.” As his name falls off my lips, I suddenly remember where I'd seen him. It was in the hospital.
