It happened faster than expected. I clearly looked miserable when I got home. Tide looked at me and asked me, pressed me: "What's wrong?" She knew all along; she never said it out loud herself though. Perhaps she was hoping that she wouldn't be right.
"I don't feel that this is working between us..."
"Then end it!"
"OK..."
A long talk about how to make the split happen, looking back at what went wrong, some crying about the hope and the home she is losing. We ended it peacefully though.
Now I'm free... Sophie and Sait, I see you both preying on me like vultures ready to push me into Angel's arms or beyond. I'm back at square one: a bit nervous, a bit excited, a bit sad.
