Sade stopped when she noticed Persephone’s eyes were filled with tears now. She didn’t want to make her cry. She just wanted answers. Persephone wiped her face and for the first time since Sade walked in, she spoke. “He’s a rapist,” she said, quietly. So quiet that Sade almost didn’t catch it. “What?” she asked, as a reflex, though she had heard her clearly. Sade’s heart stopped. “Jude. He’s a rapist.”
I thought she was going to confess some feelings.
