"Behind my back." His eyes faltering a little, turned darker, yet he kept his stance strong and defensive.
"I told you, I had no choice." Slowly, my words started coming back to me, my head starting to clear. "Oh no." I shook my head in warning.
"You had a choice. You just made the wrong one. And that is going to cost you, a lot." A new rage seemed to find me, devour me whole.
I held my left hand up and violently tugged at my ring finger, throwing the rings onto the glass mirror, harshly, until they landed, broken, in a small pile, in the trash can. The mirror cracked loudly, and I saw our reflection in the cracked mirror. Just what our marriage was. I smiled, cynically, and then looked at him one last time, before walking out.
"I admit that I don't deserve you, but you know how greedy I am for you, I am selfish for you. Cause I never wanted to give up on you. I almost lost myself in you."
"I love you! I love you more than anything! But.. if loving you is so wrong and, if you don't feel good.. then I'll stop being selfish."
"Sorry for demanding you to stay longer. You knew it was wrong, and I made it more difficult. I loved you, but.. I was being selfish..."
The rain had started to leave. He hugged her more tightly feeling nervous about what he was about to say next.
"If we divorce now.. will I stop being a burden?"
She didn't say anything but took off her ring and gave it on his hand. He nodded and pulled out the documents but she didn't let it go.
"Don't even bother hesitating. I promise, your life will get easier."
She nodded. He took them and signed.
"You are finally free...!!"

He wants her to be free for once. But he doesn't want to let her go.
