It had been three hours and there was still no sign of her. The heat was unbearable - the air heavy, making it difficult to breathe. God alone knew how he managed to put one foot in front of the other to walk.
The desert - harsh and unforgiving, just like she had been when he had tried to explain himself. He couldn't blame her for her reaction. He had betrayed her on their wedding day. There was nothing that he could say or do that would change that one enormous truth. He hadn't slept with the bitch but how could he erase the memory from her mind. It didn't matter that he had been set up. All that did was prove his innocence. It did nothing to ease the guilt he felt for not trusting her. She had warned him...so many times, but he had been blind. How many times had he been told not to judge someone by their appearance? How many times had his stubborn, hard headed behavior proven to be his downfall and now again it had played its most cruel game.
He walked. He felt the heat through the soles of his shoe. Where was she? She had promised to hear him out hadn't she? Maybe she thought he didn't deserve that chance. Despair, helplessness and anguish began to engulf him. He...
What was that in the distance? A woman in black - seemingly lost to the world with a glint on her finger. He began to smile...maybe there was hope after all.
