~ODETTE'S POV~
"Kalvin, I had hoped to talk to you personally, but I guess here will have to do." I started "Kalvin, we have never been in love, and I know that now, because I know what love feels like. I realized with time away, you also didn't love me. You loved the idea of me."
I could see the hurt on his face with her words. But I needed this. I needed to speak my truth.
"You didn't love me, you loved controlling me, you caged me, just like they did, I've spent so much of my life in a figurative cage I didn't know what freedom looked like. I didn't know any better. But I do now. I don't love you Kalvin. But you know who does?" I asked and then shifted my eyes to Delilah, my cousin and childhood best friend "Delilah has been in love with you all our lives. You should give her a chance."
