the man sits in silence , his gaze returning straight ahead as he allowed padme's words to sink in . but , he remembered this differently -- had been haunted by the memories of it that always seemed to intertwine themselves in his dreams . " you LEFT me . " he states , his voice already beginning to smolder with frustration . with this statement , he had glanced upwards again , eyes of ice focused on her . " i remember it all , how can you speak to me as if i am lying to you? " his hands had begun to shake , the emotion in his tone beginning to overwhelm anakin . " you looked me in the eye , padme . you told me that you did not want me , that i was to have nothing to do with our child . i remember it all , it is not something that a man forgets . " his voice , having always been controlled and professional now vibrated , breaking completely as tears began to slid across the man's cheekbones . " now to be here , why must it be like this? i must see you every day , i must speak with you -- knowing that you have no desire to be around me . no desire to be with me . you may no longer love me as you did , but i will never stop loving you . " his face was buried beneath his hands , the only thing now visible was the curls resting upon his head and the golden shine of a wedding band still worn on his left hand .
