137 Put it on Paper

William almost choked hearing that name from Lina's lips.

She turned to face him and said it again.

"Well is it? Is she the reason you don't want to marry? Because she broke your heart? I'm not her Will, I'm not Jen!"

"DON'T SAY THAT NAME!" he yelled and leaped out of the bed.

Lina gasped when he kicked the bed and the whole bedframe shook.

She covered her mouth and stuttered, "Will I-"

"I don't want to talk about her," he snapped, "I've had enough. This is the same argument every month and it's tiring. When are you going to let it go?"

"Let it go?" she repeated, "I won't let it go. I'm not wrong Will. It's not wrong of me to want some security and a guarantee that you won't leave me."

He laughed an offended laugh.

"A guarantee?"

She watched him pace the room and she flinched when he grabbed his suitcase and threw it on the bed.

He grabbed a pen from the desk and walked over shirtless and snatched a blank piece of paper from his briefcase.
