Connundrum

"What's the reason you divorced me?", she asked him in a voice of steel.

Her sudden change in demeanor and resolve startled him and made him look her in the eyes.

"I.....", he started, but Riya was one step ahead of him. She stepped forward and grabbed his hand in hers. She knew she was playing with fire here, if he cringed of her touch, she'd be heartbroken and hurt. She was well aware of it. But what if he doesn't? What if he can't hurt her because he's secretly hiding his feelings from her?

"Riya...", now he was more shocked because he knew Riya must have smelled something and that was the reason she was suddenly very confident.

He held her hand and told her calmly, "I already told you the reason why we got divorced. Don't ask me again". He couldn't see her eyes while telling this, so he looked down instinctively. 

But she never let him go.
