Hallee helped Sabrina and Morgan back into the house. She decided to just leave their bags in the car and deal with them the next day. She was exhausted from all the travelling they had done the last couple days.

"Welcome back," Christian came around the corner.

Hallee's heart stopped seeing him standing there. Sabrina ran over excitedly as Morgan toddled over. Christian leaned down and hugged them tightly and kissed their cheeks. She honestly had no idea how to react. She quickly texted Tom to see if he could watch Sabrina and Morgan. She didn't want the kids home as they talked, more like fought, everything out.

"Thanks," Hallee said stoically, "what are you doing here?"

"I can't come visit my kids and lovey wife?" He sneered.

"Are we really doing this now in front of Sabrina and Morgan?" Hallee crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. Christian sighed and shook his head, "I asked Tom to watch them tonight."

"Timothee offer-"

"Well Tom is their god father, and he lives 3 minutes away," Hallee said hardly, making Christian nod meekly.

She left them him alone with Sabrina and Morgan. Hallee went back outside and got their bags from the car. She took their suitcases into the laundry room and started a load of laundry. Hallee had no idea how to feel about Christian being home. She hadn't planned on having to talk to him so soon. She leaned her back against the washing machine and rubbed her face when she felt her watch vibrating.

From: Chris Evans

Hey hope you, Sabrina, and Morgan made it back to London okay!

To: Chris Evans

We did thank you so much! 

From; Chris Evans

You're welcome! Keep your head up! You're doing great.

The rest of the evening was awkward. Hallee could barely look at Christian without wanting to burst into tears. Her heart was heavy because she knew what was coming. She wasn't ready for it. Hallee has been thinking about what to say and do, but she had no clue.

She got Sabrina and Morgan's overnight bags all ready so that Tom would have a good night with them. They were very excited to see him. They loved Tom and Alexia. Alexia, however, had gone back to Barcelona.

Hallee poured herself a large glass of white wine and sighed as she waited for Christian. He came down the stairs and opened up a bottle of beer. They stood on opposite sides of the kitchen not looking at each other or talking.

"Have a nice time cheating on me the Evans brothers?" Christian's sneer broke the silence.

"Excuse you?" Hallee's head snapped up to look at him.

"Cheating. You've been all over the Evans brothers for the last three and a half weeks," Christian continued, "are they good? Did they share well?"

"You really think I slept with Chris and Scott?!" Hallee's voice hardened.

"What else am I supposed to think?"

"They're my friends! I met them in Mass and then they were filming in LA. They got along really well with Sabs and Morgan. They just wanted to hang out."

"What a pathetic excuse," he scoffed.

"STOP PROJECTING ON TO ME!" Hallee yelled, "you're the one who slept with someone else! And I'm the stupid wife back in London!"

"You didn't want to leave London! I wouldn't have if you were in Spain with me!"

"Are you blaming me for your infidelity?!" Hallee demanded.

"I would've thought my wife would've come with me to Spain!"

"And leave my life behind yet again? Just admit that coming here was a massive mistake!"

"Advancing my career is a massive mistake? You wouldn't even have a career if it wasn't for Clint!"

The fight that night was epic. Horrific insults were thrown at each other. Vases, plates, and glass tables were shattered just like the vows they read to each other three and a half years earlier.  It only sealed their future of getting a divorce.
