Chapter 235
“I married Walter because I was head over heels for him. Now, I’m asking for a divorce because the love is just not there anymore. When you realize you’ve been loving someone who doesn’t love you back, you’ve got to stop yourself from falling any further. I can’t end up like my mom, her love taken for granted, which is tragic enough, but to not even be able to hold onto life itself…”

If she had this baby and could watch the child grow, she could tell herself that Walter loved her once, even if he no longer did.

easy.”
Yale turned to her with a look. “Don’t worry about it, I haven’t enjoyed a drink like this in ages. You shouldn’t be up late, go get some sleep.”
Right then, she was seriously hoping for a miracle–like some woman dropping out of the sky to whisk Yale away and deal with his for booze!
Shorn love
The night had taken over, and the living room was shrouded in darkness.

Yale, buzzed and not bothering to find his bed, crashed on the couch.
Blinking away the fog of sleep, he saw a skinny girl standing across from him, her back turned, doing whatever she did.
