I never should have done that." She shoved her hands into the pockets of her jeans. "I love him, Embry. I love him more than anyone else in this world. I would die for him. But now he's gone because I told him to leave, and it's a little too late for me to tell him now. I pushed him away. He probably won't even speak to me ever again. I doubt he cried; I doubt he was upset. He was probably relieved to be rid of me, relieved to not have to trail behind me anymore." She exhaled, rubbing at her eyes, catching the tears before they could fall. "I wish I could take it all back." Her voice cracked on the last word.
