But now, all he felt was annoyance. He pulled his sleeve free from her grip. “If you can’t live without me, then maybe you shouldn’t.”

If a young girl acted all pitiful and cried like this, it might be normal. But at her age, it just seemed forced and pathetic.

Nicole had always used threats of suicide and tears as bargaining chips, driving a wedge between Leo and his kids, making them drift apart.
