His focus was completely on her. Ryley suspected that she would not take his question well and almost...almost...regretted bringing up what he was certain that he'd seen earlier that evening. However, he'd needed to ask her. Violet spoke, her words cutting through him. "You seriously think that you have some sort of control over what I do and don't do?" He chose not to answer her. Instead, simply continued to watch her. His features were quickly turning to the guarded look he so often got whenever they argued. He just couldn't allow her to see the pain her words caused him.

A few short moments passed before Violet was looking at him again. He regarded her, easily reading her emotions as she continued speaking. "Seriously? This is the first thing you want to talk about is what I'm up to - what I'm taking, when the real problem here is that we have to spend the rest of our lives together? This is all your fault! Everything! The fact that this engagement is a fucking joke - pathetic is what it is! It's your fault that we're stuck in this... this... awful fucking limbo! I can't be happy because of you!" No matter how angry he wanted to be with her...he could not be. Everything she said was true. All of this was his fault. Regardless of why he'd cheated on her...the harsh truth was that he had...he'd broken her trust in him.

Ryley suddenly looked down towards his lap, refusing to look at the woman that sat across from him. It wasn't something that he did often and when he did..it was only because he was truly upset about something. He didn't even care that Violet would likely understand his sudden refusal to look at her. A moment later, Violet admitted to taking the pills. It didn't make him feel any better. The woman didn't give him time to barely take in what she'd said about the pills before she continued. "Why are we doing this?"

Still, Ryley refused to look at her. He thought over her question silently for a moment. The silence that suddenly filled the room was almost deafening. What could he possibly say? He'd only wanted to know what she was taking...and why. He should have known that they would end up yelling. This was, however, one of the few times that he'd not yelled back. He just...didn't have it in him right then. Ryley took a slow, deep breath before sighing. "I have no idea." He said, his voice fairly soft.

Deep down, Ryley still cared for Violet. Still loved her. Yet, he just couldn't bring himself to tell her that. Besides, he doubted that she would believe him. He suspected that in her eyes, he'd cheated because he'd lost feelings for her. That had not been the case at all. He'd only done it to help them both. It was in that moment that Ryley decided to say something that he really didn't want to. "If you're that unhappy..then leave. I would rather you have nothing to do with me than taking drugs just to be able to put up with me. The mere thought of marrying me is causing you distress..why stay? Don't you know me by now? I would not force you to do anything that you do not want to." It was then that Ryley stood, turning as if to leave her then. He was telling her to leave him. Yet, he'd spoken nothing but the truth to her. He wanted her to be happy. Though, he knew that he likely never would be. Not again. He'd ruined the best thing that he'd ever had.
