Carly

Three months ago

“Carly, I need to talk to you.” Tony’s voice is flat.

I walk over to him, bracing myself for another conversation about what I’m doing wrong and what he needs me to change. I try so damn hard to please him, but it’s like once I fix one thing, three others break.

“I want a divorce.”

My breath catches in my throat and I suddenly feel like a huge weight is pressing down on my chest. “What? Why?”

He shakes his head. “Because I don’t want you anymore. You obviously have no idea how the hell to make me happy and I’m done waiting for you to figure it out.”

My mind races. This can’t be happening. I have been with Tony since high school. He’s the only man I ever really cared about. “There has to be something I can do to fix this.”

He laughs. “If you haven’t been able to fix this shit over the past few years, how do you plan to do it now?”

“I—I don’t know.” I take a step toward him and wrap my arms around him. “Please, just let me try.”

He pulls my arms off of him. “We’ll see. At this point, I won’t hold my breath.”
