Chapter 35: Or Is This a New Beginning?

A heavy silence filled the room. I tried to focus my breathing, but the more I breathed the more I smelled the sweat collecting at my head, the spilled gravy from the tray I slammed, the scent of him all around me. It was all too much.

“What did you say?” I slowly picked my head up to look at Mordecai.

The anger was out of him too. He looked just as tired as I felt, and for once, I thought I saw him look sad, but it had to be a lie. I shook my head and looked away from him.

“Obviously, we are not good for each other,” I tried to start but my voice cracked. I wanted to slap myself. Why did I have to cry? Why, why, why!?

“So...you want me to divorce you? Melania, that would kill you.”
