Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

Walker Grant forcefully clenched the ice in his hand. He’d been holding it so long it was melting, water trickling down between his fingers.

His dark eyes were fixed on her. "Weren’t we fine before? This isn’t the first time something like this has happened."

"Because I’m done putting up with it." Chloe Reed looked him straight in the eye. "Have I not been direct enough? I don’t want you anymore."

The corners of Walker Grant’s eyes reddened, and his breathing grew ragged. "Eight years, and you’re just throwing it all away?"

She moved closer to him. "Do you know why?"

Chloe Reed slowly backed away, as if trying to permanently exit his world. "Walker Grant, you know full well I can’t turn a blind eye to this."
