There was a ringing in her ears. She couldn’t believe that this was happening to her, couldn’t believe that he was standing here in front of her, as if telling her this would make everything better.
“Well.”
She hated him at this moment, can’t help but think about the fact that they are currently standing in the same house where it all happened, the home they had built together forever soiled. What would she tell the children? How could she possibly explain things when it all came out, because she knew that it would. He was too high profile, had made too many enemies in his field for it not to come out. And when it did, it would be spectacular in the worst way.
“Yell, scream, say something.”
She needed to get away, she couldn't stand being in the same building as him let alone the same room. She knew that they’ll talk about it soon, there’s no way for them to get through it if they don’t. But for now? Now she needs to get away, to think, to have some distance.
“Anything.”
Eliza turned and walked away. She said nothing.
