I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out

The day after Finn proposed, Sienna broke up with him. He explained, “Chloe is pregnant. I have to take responsibility.” Later, when Sienna cut her wrist and bled enough to fill a bathtub, Finn simply said, “If she wants to die, then she’ll die.” Four years later, they reunited. By then, Sienna had become an emergency department doctor, her eyes showing nothing but the coldness of a surgical knife. Finn, on the other hand, had become a captain. Every time Sienna tried to move on and start a new life, Finn would show up again. She wished she could just kick him away and say, “Get lost. You have a wife and kids. Why are you pretending to be so affectionate with me?” But Finn, usually calm and composed, lost his cool and replied, “I’m not married. Here’s a paternity test—take a look.” One by one, the truths from back then began to surface. Still, Sienna said, “So what? My ex-boyfriend is practically dead to me.” To which Finn responded, “Then I’ll chase after you again.” “Go queue up,” she said.
