Once Upon a Time – Chapter 31 – Finale
“Zoe, just tell me. This waiting is killing me.”
“Okay. You remember Linda, the woman you dated before me?
“Yes?”
“Well I’ve been a friend of hers since law school. We are pretty close and when you broke up with her you really broke her heart. I suggested we set you up, give you a taste of your own medicine.”
Anger flared within Madison as she put the pieces together but as quickly as it flared it was replaced by utter sadness and defeat. Madison had finally fallen in love but it was all just a cruel joke. She didn’t even try to contain the tears welling up in her eyes.
Zoe reached out to wipe the tears away but Madison pulled away and in a low quiet voice said, “Don’t Zoe.”
Almost from the instant we met I fell in love with you and my fate was sealed when you held me the night I told you about my abusive relationship. After hearing you tell me tonight about your parents and how much you hate when people lie to you I couldn’t go on without making this right. I want our love to be real. I want it to be based on truth. The truth is simple; I love you with everything I am.
Madison stood there listening to Zoe and wanted to believe her. She needed time to sort things through.
“I hear what you’re saying Zoe but I need time. I need to think through all of this. Can you understand?”
Chapter 31
Madison walked into the coffee house looking for her morning fix. Last nights events weighted heavily on her mind not to mention the direct hit her heart had taken. She placed her order and scanned the crowd, looking for a familiar face. Her eyes fell on Zoe, sitting in the corner; talking in an animated fashion to a person Madison couldn’t see. Her heart stopped for a second as she took in Zoe’s beauty, realizing how very much she loved her. Was she going to let her pride stand in the way of true happiness? Madison shook her head, willing herself to stop thinking with her heart and start thinking with her head. If she had done that in the first place maybe she wouldn’t have fallen so deeply in love and wouldn’t be standing there right now wanting to crawl into the nearest hole. Just then the person Zoe was talking with leaned forward and put their hand on top of Zoe’s. Madison let out an audible gasp as she realized it was Linda. It was just another slap in the face, another twist of the knife in her heart. Madison paid for her coffee and left determined to put Zoe and what they had behind her.
