Jason picked me up, his eyes wide with panic.
I could feel his body trembling.

My breath grew shallow, the pain intensifying.
I saw a tiny infant floating in the water.
A girl, so beautiful.

“Don’t take my baby!”
“Don’t!”

“Enough!”
“The baby’s dead. There’s no point.”
I stared at him, my heart shattering into a
million pieces.
My strength drained away. I sank back into

I could feel the blood flowing from me,
staining the tank crimson.
Jason, I regret ever loving you.
I closed my eyes.
Even in that final moment, I could still feel his

Then I saw Jason.
His eyes were filled with remorse. “I’m sorry,
Ariel. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.”
“But I didn’t know… I didn’t know I loved you.”
