His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)
The rhythm of his steps grows louder, faster.
“Please,” I plead again, my voice cracking. “Please don’t—”
His hand catches my wrist, firm but gentle, pulling me back. I twist, and suddenly I’m facing him.
He freezes. His eyes widen the moment he sees my face.
“What… what’s making you cry?” he asks, his voice barely a whisper, shaken.
I try to speak, but the words won’t come. They choke somewhere in my throat. The tears spill before I can stop them—hot, helpless.
