I pace the living room trying to decide what I should do. I have sent Madeleine away with my father until this evil man is caught, but I cannot protect Norrin. I'm not here all the time. He's too kind, too loving. He doesn't deserve this over his head. He needs someone with less baggage. I twirl my engagement ring around my finger before slowly slipping it off. I find a bit of paper and pen the words, "I'm sorry. I love you. Move on and be happy."
I place the note on the table with my engagement ring on top of it. Gathering a few things from upstairs, I quietly slip out. He'll be safe now.
