        "Jen?" he repeated as he found her packing the boxes. "What are you doing?"

        "Packing, what does it look like?"

        "Why so snarky?"

        "Are you really asking me that? Go home to your wife Colin."

        "You are mad because she was on set today?"

        "You really are clueless..." She said throwing a picture frame into a box, causing it to break. She took a deep breath then rested on her knees.

        "What is wrong, love? You can at least tell me...Is this for Henry?" He how lowered his voice.

        "No! This is all you! I can't believe I trusted you. You are married, promised to another and I let myself fall for you. I should have been more smart...I'm leaving and I suggest you do the same-at least until I'm gone..."

        "Please love, tell me what I did-"

        "Stop calling me that. I want nothing to do with you anymore..."

        "Why not? What did I do. Please..." He said, now level with her on the ground.

        She saw in his eyes he was honestly confused. Placing his hands onto hers, she still desired him. She hated herself for it.

        "No." Jennifer said slowly, taking the box in her hands and walking toward the front door. "I'm done with this..." She shut it with her foot and walked down the stairs and placed it in her car.

        "Jennifer!" He called back. "Jen!"

        She saw him in her rear view mirror as she drove away with tears in her eyes. Pained by all the latest events, her phone buzzed beside her. In anger, she lifted it and pressed the 'call' button.

        "Hello?"

        "Henry?" She asked, with obvious signs of crying in her tone.

        "Why have you been crying?"

        "You knew he would never leave her....didn't you?"

        "You mean the child?"

        "Yes..." She said, the words stinging her all over again.

        "I would never hurt you like that. I was trying to show you, you deserve better...Someone who is kind and sweet. Maybe even shy..."

        Desperate for some kind of anger release, she hit down on the gas hard.

        "I feel like everything is broken...Like my heart was taken and stomped on until it became dozens of little pieces and even then...burned..."

        "It's okay. I'm here...Do you want to meet somewhere?" His voice-content yet eager.

        "Where? Somewhere public so I can trust you..."

        "Understandable...How about the cafe on the end of Saint Ice Street? That good?"

        "I'm on my way now..."

        Parking in front of the cafe, she saw a man waiting anxiously outside of the establishment. He had slicked hair back, glasses off, and resembled an actual human being. She found everything in her stomach to resist, but she pushed past it and left the car. If only she knew...she was followed...
