It was like a punch to the gut as Callista stared ahead. "Oh gods," her hand went to her mouth, shaking. The other went to her abdomen and she pressed a hand there. "I... I thought it was me." Facing away from Rembrandt she looked down to her stomach after she climbed from the bed, she pulled her hand away and shook her head. "He..." A gasping breath and hot tears spilled down her pale cheeks, "he used me. And... I used you." Another few attempts to keep herself neutral, to keep the tears at bay. "Oh gods. Rembrandt, what have I done? To me? To you?" Finally she turned to look at him and held her hands to her face.
"You... Don't have to get involved anymore than I've dragged you," she took a wobbly step closer to him and brushed the tears from her face. "You can go on acting and being other people, living lives that are better than your's." Then her hands were to her face and she was on her knees, taking deep steadying breaths, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
