Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

She muted her phone, then glanced at Duane. She started to type a reply, saying, “Why can’t you discuss it over the phone?
What if someone photographs us...”
Bradley countered, “Are we never going to meet again just because of a potential photograph? Don’t worry, it won’t affect my
work.”
“Alright,” Sabrina agreed.
Sabrina stashed her phone and concocted a pretext to exit the chamber.
After coming out of the bathroom, she positioned herself near the fire exit, waiting patiently.
After a brief interval, Bradley approached her.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No, not at all. What did you want to talk about?” Sabrina inquired.
Bradley gazed at Sabrina, his expression a tangle of emotions, his eyes harboring profound affection.
Sabrina’s heart fluttered as she discerned the intensity in his gaze.

Bradley... Hadn’t he given up yet?
Since she’d turned down Bradley’s advances at the restaurant during their previous encounter, their contact had grown sparse.
Sabrina earnestly hoped Bradley could regard her as a friend.
She probed, “What’s on your mind?”
Bradley remained silent for a few moments before speaking in a hushed tone.
“You... have you reconciled with Tyrone? I saw you getting into his car yesterday.”
Sabrina was taken aback by Bradley’s revelation.
She hesitated, wrestling with her inner turmoil.

She hadn’t reconciled with Tyrone, but she couldn’t deny they were somewhat close.
However, it had been against her will. They were far from being back together.
Observing Sabrina’s silence, Bradley felt a pang of sadness, as though a gust of cold wind had swept through his heart.
He suppressed the bitterness and frustration brewing within and made an effort to steady himself.
“I don’t know what transpired between you two, but have you forgotten that he cheated on you? There’s no guarantee he won’t
do it again in the future. I don’t understand why you...”
His words trailed off, replaced by a resigned sigh. He didn’t expect this.
Seeing that Bradley had misunderstood her, Sabrina chose not to defend herself. Perhaps this was an opportunity to make
Bradley relinquish his affections.
After a brief pause, she responded, “No one can predict the future.”
“But...” Bradley started. His emotions began to surge with each passing moment. He let out an exasperated sigh and gazed at
her with disappointment.
“Why do you like him? Aren’t you afraid he’ll hurt you again? Sabrina, I hope you can address it rationally, and weigh the pros
and cons. Don’t let emotions...”
“Bradley, I understand you’re Looking out for me. I’ve considered everything you’ve said. I’ve thought long and hard before
reconciling with Tyrone. I hope you can understand. . Sabrina started.
“I don’t understand!” Bradley cut her off bitterly. He locked his gaze on her and continued, “Why don’t you consider being with
me?
Tyrone had an affair with someone else while he was with you and I’m the one who’s not good enough?”
Sabrina shook her head gently and replied, “It’s not a competition.
It’s about love. Sometimes, feelings are irrational. Besides, there’s nothing between Tyrone and Galilea. Bradley, please
understand that even without Tyrone, we can’t be together. I value our friendship and sincerely hope you can move on.”

Bradley forced a bitter smile and shook his head.
“Forgetting someone isn’t as simple as you make it sound. Just as you can’t forget Tyrone, I can’t forget you either. You said you
wouldn’t remarry Tyrone. I thought that if I stayed by your side, you might accept me someday...”
Sabrina interjected, “I’ve shared my perspective with you. Bradley, I’ll talk to your agent during our next work engagement. I’ll
give you some time to cool down. If you continue like this, then... I might have no choice but to let go of our friendship.”
Then she turned around and was about to leave.
“Sabrina!” Bradley’s voice, laced with sadness, broke the silence as he grasped her wrist.
“Are you truly this heartless?”
