Bradley Fox comes to an empty and dark house. A house that used to be his home, a place where there was so much love and laughter. But now the only thing he can feel from this house is a tension. A heavy atmosphere that makes him feel he barely can breathe.
What happened with his family? What happened to his marriage? What happened between him and Avery? They used to be a happy husband and wife, but now... everything seems so different. He wishes this to be a nightmare, he wakes up with Avery next to him telling him he was snoring so loud.
But no, it's real. This is a reality he has to face. He wants to fight for their marriage, but what can he fight when there is no trust between two people?
"Avery," he calls his wife. Avery is standing in the kitchen island, with a glass of water. Stressed lines on her beautiful face, but whenever she looks at Brad, his heart skip a beat. He still loves his wife, so much. Is love not enough to be the core of this marriage?
"Brad..." Ave answers him softly. Her voice used to bring peace and warmth to him, but now, right at this moment he feels that he should leave her. His gut says he won't like whatever words that will come from her lips.
"Brad, I can't do this anymore," she shakes her head. Brad realizes what he wife's words mean. His vision suddenly becomes blurry.
He faces his wife in disbelief. "You want to leave me?"
Avery shakes her head. "I can't do this, Brad. It's hurting our kids. I need to protect them," she says shakily, tears streaming down from her emerald eyes, the green color that's a darker shades from other people's green eyes. The unique color that draws Brad to Avery all the time. Now those green eyes only shine with hurt and misery.
