"I've filed for divorce. Effective immediately, Michael Collins and I have nothing to do with each other."
The instant I finished speaking, the room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

His voice broke as he reached for the hem of my dress.
I stepped aside and looked down at him.
Then, in front of everyone, I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face.
