Regina's eyes, wide and filled with fear, glistened in the candlelight, giving her an even more pitiful appearance.
Colt took a deep breath, trying to rein in his emotions, and sat down, pulling out a chair.
"We've had a good thing going all these years. You've been the perfect housewife. Isn't that enough?"
As he spoke, so casually and matter-of-factly, Regina couldn't help but curse herself internally. 'How could I have ever been so stupid? To think he'd treat me like a real person?'
Things she had once hesitated to say now felt like they needed to be said, even if they were long overdue.
Crossing her arms, Regina's voice was icy and sharp. "This isn't the marriage I signed up for, Colt. You've never lived like a normal person, but I have. I'm done playing this game with you."
