Ibrahim looked visibly upset when Corinne fatly asked what else there was to talk about. Of course, she hadn’t said that there was nothing to discuss. Rather, she said that she was unsure what there was to discuss.<br/><br/>Of course, Ibrahim was smart enough to understand her implication. She didn’t believe there was anything else to say. Clearly, Ibrahim thought there was more of a discussion to have, though. The hurt on his face cracked at Corinne’s façade a bit, but she tensed her shoulders and clenched her jaw in an effort to hold strong and keep from giving in.<br/><br/>It had happened time and time again when Ibrahim said he’d be there for her, but then wasn’t. He’d let her down over and over again and when she confronted him about it and made him face the fact that he was putting her in second place time after time and expected her to just be content with that. Even when it meant going weeks and sometimes months without seeing each other.<br/><br/>Franky, the two weeks of silence that they just endured was not entirely uncommon, and that alone was enough for Corinne to feel like their relationship was over. Half the time she was unsure how to pick up where they left off because so much time had gone by from their previous time together. But he made plenty of time for his family and his horrid pet spider. Corinne was always an afterthought.<br/><br/>Or at least, that’s what she kept telling herself to stay strong and firm in the decision to end things.<br/><br/>Corinne frowned when Ibrahim asked if it was really over between them. “It’s been over for some time,” she responded. He chuckled almost angrily, turning away before then piercing his gaze at her. He demanded to know if they’d be strangers now, if he should expect a cold shoulder whenever they ran into each other. He tossed in a sour congratulations and Corinne sighed.<br/><br/>“For once, the distance from you has been good for me. When I wanted you around, you weren’t there for me. Now, I wanted the space away from you to reflect and think about things. And it was exactly what I needed.” Corinne felt slightly emotional about it all, knowing that she had truly loved Ibrahim and still had feelings for him. She just couldn’t go through a relationship like this anymore.<br/><br/>“You just aren’t there when I need you, Ibrahim. You haven’t been for some time. When I needed to be alone with you in the tent, you didn’t show up early like I asked you to, which caused me to have to wait for hours just for the game to start. And then, when I thought we’d at least get to be alone in the booth together, you refused to be there with me too. It was starting to feel like you wanted to break up but just couldn’t end things with me. It feels like this is what you want, too.”<br/><br/>Corinne looked back at Ibrahim to give him a chance to say something else, but shifted where she stood, aiming herself to turn away and walk off as soon as she could.
