"But if you really help me get the wedding gifts back, Natalie will..." Isabella's voice trailed off, worry clouding her words.
Ethan cut her off. "Isabella, I've already made up my mind."
She knew what that meant. To her, Ethan choosing to help her get the wedding gifts back also meant he wasn't ready to go through with the divorce. Honestly, Ethan wasn't so sure about that himself anymore. The certainty he once had about staying married had faded. For now, he'd focus on getting the gifts back. The divorce could wait until he figured out what he really wanted.
Isabella stayed quiet. After a moment, Ethan spoke again.
"I'll really think about the divorce, too," he said, his voice softer.
Isabella finally let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Her tone lifted, lighter now. "You don't have to come pick me up, Ethan. I can drive myself."
"I'll come get you," he replied.
She didn't argue this time. "Alright, I'll send you my location."
As soon as they hung up, Isabella sent him her location. Ethan read it, took a couple of steadying breaths, then got up and headed out of his office.
