The silence that spread between Malva and me was loud enough. It seems so long than the few minutes it took. He sat there, his eyes on me, awaiting my response.
At last, I dabbed my tears away and then sniffed back.
" I already said I will accept back the ring, Malva. You own me. I accepted, " I whispered, expecting him to go with the flow, but he didn't.
" I have taken the ring and Necklace away, Mary " He whispers to me. " I will give them back to you ... The day I am completely sure you love me enough to accept me for who I am "
His words forced me to give him my attention and he nodded.
" It's a bit rushed. Our love and affection. The secrets as well. I was selfish. I only think about myself all the time. I wanted you to accept me so quickly that I didn't think it through. "
