Charlette heard Dave's words but they did not affect her. She knew what she was and what she wasn't and his words didn't mean anything to her. She breathed a big sigh of relief once she heard the front door slam.<br/><br/>There was not one ounce of sadness, regret, pain, sorrow, etc at all in her decision. It was a long time coming. She felt a relief. It felt good to be rid of him.<br/><br/>She could jump Paul's bones without consequence now. But she wouldn't.
