Rennie tried to get up from from her seat as she finished speaking, but Alex grabbed her shoulder's tightly and practically shouted at her; shaking her slightly.
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
"You keep misreading the entire situation again and again!"
"Tell me how should i fix our relationship then?!"
"Just what do you want from me?!"
Alex demanded in frustration, releasing her shoulders so abruptly that she stumbled and fell on the chair she was sitting before.
But then he froze in horror as she spoke, staring down at her with a look of such abject misery, contrition and despair on his face that anyone would feel sorry for him.
"I want a divorce,"
Rennie whispered as she tried to calm down her trembling body and Alex sank down to his knees beside her helplessly, lifting a hand to caress the curve of her cheek.
