this was being a countdown, soon the divorce would come. things were not working out, the discussions could no longer be avoided. Nicole loved you, much, but two people pretending indifference in the same house, to the point of ignoring each other, that was not good for her, or for you.

tonight, she could no longer handle it, and instead of arguing, she just said good night, leaving with silent steps to the room. her eyes filled with tears, resting her head on the pillow, smothering her sobs. she just wanted all this pain to end.
