Enticed - Season 1 - Episode 47

He sits upright and rubs his eyes then holds his head and groans. The first effect of a hangover, head ache. He takes a deep breath and looks around as if searching for someone then he pauses as his eyes met mine. I gave him a slight brief smile as he froze. I searched my back for some painkillers and walked over to him with the coffee and some Advil.

Me: good morning.
Henry: Trisha?
Me: I think some painkillers will do you good right now.

He looks around the room again and takes some painkillers from me and the coffee
Henry: thank you.

I don’t really know if it’s another of a hangover or what but his face is still in shock that I am here.

Me: how are you feeling?
Henry: I will live… are you here alone.
Me: yes.

Henry: how did you find me?
Me: I have my ways… where you planning on staying away forever.

He looks away and his jaw line tightens.
Henry: Have you thought about everything.
Me: yes… I have Henry.
Henry: what did you decide?

Me: I am still trying to figure that out.
Henry: if I ask you a question will you answer it.

Me: let me hear it first.
He turns to look at me and his face is clouded with sadness.

Henry: do you foresee your future without me.
I gasp at his question. So early in the morning…? Where is he going with this?
Henry: please answer me. I won’t trouble you this time, I understand that I am the one who ruined your life and well if you don’t want me to be in your life then its fine, I understand. I will sign the divorce papers. Then maybe you will be able to move on.
I stare at him with so much shock to his words. His words wound me so much that I want into tears right there. How could he say this? I open my mouth to say something then I close my mouth with the realization that it fled from my mind. Tears start to form in my eyes and he is staring at me waiting for an answer.

Me: Henry….
I whisper… I can’t seem to control my voice at this moment. I close my eyes and a tear rolls down my left cheek.

Henry: honestly… it’s understandable. You don’t have to cry just tell me. It kills me to see you paining everyday with the knowledge that I am the one accountable for it… I just want to know if you still want to relief yourself off me.

He closes his eyes as he says those words and my heart shatters again. Does he realize how much he is hurting me at this moment? I don’t want him gone. I want him here by my side.

Me: no…
My voice is really stubborn right now and something tells me if I let it out I will be yelling. He holds my hand and sq££zes my knuckles a bit.

Henry: babe… you don’t have to punish yourself for me. It’s unnecessary.
Me: no Henry… I don’t want you gone okay. I want you here with me.

I pause my whispers and close my eyes tightly and took a deep breath, trying to gain some strength. He doesn’t reply.
Me: I am here because I want you back… I have realized that it’s about time I accept what happened and try to move on… please. I don’t want any divorce now and don’t say it again.

My vocal cords have finally agreed to release my voice but now tears are flooding my cheeks and he is just staring with so much agony and pain filled in his eyes.

Henry: why don’t you want to leave…? I have given you an opportunity.
