“So you destroyed our marriage to make me leave?”
“No.”
“Then what would you call it?”
“I thought we could fix us later.”
The words landed softly.
That made them worse.
I looked at Lily.
“You don’t get to decide when another person can survive being broken.”
“I know that now.”
I wiped my face.
A knock sounded at the door.
Three gentle taps.
I froze.
“Elena?” Ethan said.
Another knock.
I crossed the room without answering.
Through the peephole, I saw Daniel.
Relief came first.
Then confusion.
I opened the door with the security latch still fastened.
“Yes?”
Daniel held an envelope.
“Sorry to bother you.”
“What is it?”
“This was delivered downstairs for you.”
My stomach tightened.
“Who delivered it?”
“That’s what we’re trying to determine.”
I glanced at the phone in my hand.
Ethan was still on the line.
Daniel noticed.
“Is that Mr. Walker?”
