"I had every right and reason to leave," Tina insisted.
"Of course you did," Adam agreed. "But slinking away without telling anyone was pretty damn cowardly. And stupid. And thoughtless! How were we supposed to know what had happened, if you were okay, if--"
"I told Emily," Tina protested.
Adam stopped.
That was the problem, wasn't it? It wasn't that she'd left, though obviously he wished she hadn't. It was that she'd chosen Emily over him. In the end, she hadn't loved, or trusted, him enough. That was what had hurt more than anything else.
Adam took a deep breath, and then started walking away.
"Where are you going?"
He didn't answer. He just kept walking. And Tina realized that his silence spoke louder than his shouting had just a few seconds ago.
