I stand in the middle of the entrance hall, watching everyone with their happy lives and smiles. "I remember this...right here..." I say with a sigh. Right here was the place I first met you, where you first kissed me, and when you left before.

"You came here too?" I ask, sighing from a chair a few metres away from her.

I turn and see Nick. I sigh slightly and walk over to him, just enough distance between us. "Of course I came here, I always do..." I say softly, looking down at my feet.

"I do, too," I admit softly, looking down.

"I've been thinking a lot here...about everything..." I say still staring at my feet. I kept thinking why, why my heart had to doubt his love, and now it might be too late.

"Oh yeah?" I ask quietly, not looking forward to what she had to say.

I look up at him slightly. *He's never been like this...ever.* I thought to myself. "Nick, I've done what you told me to, and I've decided who I love more, and I...I love you with all my heart. I'm sorry..." I say weakly trying not to cry. *Please honey remember the vow, I'm sorry I broke it, I'm sorry...* I kept thinking.

I sigh. "I love you, Shell. I really do. But Kyra told me that you slept with her twice, even after I came back. I just... Don't know if I can trust you again fully for a while. I'm sorry. I am, really. I think... you don't know what you want really. You just chose who you are more comfortable with. You wouldn't have done it if you loved me as much as you say you do. And what will happen to Kyra? What will happen with her, huh? You're just going to leave her as if she never meant anything to you? That wouldn't be right, Shell. Just wouldn't be right!"

I just start crying. "Nick, I didn't love her like I love you, I never could! We've been through missions, we have three kids together, I'm the only one you told your entire past to. I don't want to give all of that up, on one day that I doubted my feelings, and how I thought you thought about me..." I say.

"Well you shouldn't have had to have doubted them at all!" I yell. "This is your fault, not mine, and I don't want Kyra to be left out of this. It's cruel to just leave her, and I don't think that I can trust you for a while. You did it after I came back! That means you had an affair. You cheated. I never thought you could do that. And if you did do that, then I don't know who you are anymore. You're a stranger to me."

"Nick...I don't know what else to say besides I'm sorry, no one could ever replace how I feel about you. If you don't know me anymore, then you deserve to give this back to the girl you gave it to. I take off my wedding ring and place it in his hand, reading the inscription once again before placing it in his palm. "I want you to know, I am that same girl Nick. I know it's my fault, but..." I stop, not knowing what else to say, just staring into his eyes.

"You're not the same anymore. The Shelby I know would never do this! The Shelby I know wouldn't cheat. Ever. Until I know who you are, then we can't be together. Sorry," I sigh, handing her the ring back. "Keep it. I got it for you anyway."

"Nick..." I say wanting to be in his arms, just laying there. "I don't deserve you anymore. You're right, the Shelby you knew disappeared...and I don't want to have the ring when I..." I sigh and start walking away. "I'll be at the astronomy tower." I look over my shoulder. "I'm not going to be studying either..." I say before I leave.
