PatriciaFlashback continued…“What are you doing?” my voice shook as I spoke. “Ethan… Ethan wouldn’t like this. At all.”He folded his hands, and that single action calmed me down a bit. At least his hands were away from me. “I thought we agreed not to talk about him tonight.”“Yeah, but this situation doesn’t look ideal…”I spoke too soon. He unfolded his arms and his hand was suddenly on my cheek. I chose to think he was wiping the remnant of my tears. After some seconds, his hand was still here, caressing my cheek. Either my temperature was rising rapidly, or the room was really hot.“If it’s that difficult for you, I can help you forget about him. Even if it’s only for tonight.”I did the smartest thing I could think of at that moment. I ducked away from his touch and burst into forced nervous laughter. &ldqu

PatriciaIt was only when I was done talking that my eyes stopped wandering and settled finally on Ethan’s. My hands were the ones shaking now that I was quiet. It hadn’t been an easy thing to do but if I hadn’t said it right now, I knew Ethan wasn’t going to give me another opportunity, and he had been more than patient. My entire being was drenched in shame as I looked at my husband, trying to decipher his reaction, but at the same time, I was relieved.Ethan didn’t move from where he stood. He was livid, a sheen of liquid in his eyes. They were more of a tell-tale of his ire, rather than a broken heart, and I hoped with every fibre in me that that emotion wasn’t directed at me. His jaws were tightly clenched as were his fists and I decided it was best if I waited for him to speak.But he didn’t.And the silence was pricking several pins into my skin.Before I could open my mouth, he exhaled loud

EthanOne month agoI glanced around again, as Edmund rounded up on his story, but she was still nowhere to be seen. The party was ending, and the plan was to leave after this conversation, but Patricia was suddenly missing.“Is everything alright, Mr Price?”I replaced the frown and moved my attention back to the group. “Of course.”He nodded. “Then we’ll be hoping to hear from you soon.”“Definitely. It’s been a pleasure.”I was finally able to get away. I disliked these pretentious parties with a passion, but they still had to be attended. I got back to our table but there was no sign of her having been there.When did she leave? And why didn’t she say anything?I took my phone and called her as I marched out of the hall. Just like I dreaded, her line was unreachable. I checked her recent location, and it still showed this hotel althou

EthanMy fists relaxed.“Bryce, that’s enough,” Patricia’s voice pierced through his speech.She was fighting for me. She was still on my side. It was supposed to make me feel good, feel secure, but it didn’t. It broke me, even more than the hard truth that came from the guy I thought was the scumbag in this situation.“It’s the truth.” His eyes didn’t leave mine. “And he knows it.”I was the scumbag.This wasn’t how I envisioned this happening. He couldn’t use my mistakes to run away from his responsibility.‘Isn’t that what you’ve been doing?’Fuck. My own conscience was against me too.I shook my head. I had to focus.“Whatever it is, nothing gave you the right to do what you did to her.” The words were bitter as they left my mouth. The thought of him putting his hands on Patricia
