I only pause when his voice starts hitching so bad I can barely make out the numbers. I give him a second, not outta kindness, but to make sure the lesson sticks. "Why are you getting punished?" I ask sharply. His voice cracks, but he forces the words out between sobs. "Because... I took your wife to the club..." "And?" I lean in, waiting. "I followed Lavina to the club... without your permission..." His whole body’s shaking, the words barely making it out. "And?"
