"Ever since I've left, I haven't been myself. I've hated myself for ever leaving, and made up this thing in my head that you hated me, which I agree, you should. I've become what you warned me not to be. My father." Richmond sighed, and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm so sorry, Bella." He kissed her begrudgingly.
"I can stay." He admitted finally. "I just.. It doesn't feel right anymore." He thought for a moment, and sighed. "Do you still want.. that family?" He asked her and kissed at her ear.
