Chapter 97

Book #4 in The Broken Falls Series

 

Gabby

"I want a divorce." I barely get the words out of my dry mouth. I've never been so scared to speak before, but I've also never felt so unappreciated or stifled. There's too much that has happened between us, and now I'm prepared to permanently end it. It isn’t as if he’s landed blows with his hands, but he has with his words. The only difference now? I’m way more prepared to take them.

Jeff glares at me, a smirk I've come to know far too well on his face. It's what I see every time I decide to make a decision for myself and stand up. He always tries to push me down and make whatever decision about him, instead of about what I want. I've been thinking of this longer than I should have before it came to this.
