She pressed her lips together, her heart aching more than anything else.
Taking a deep breath to hold back her tears, she looked directly at the man and asked, “Matthew, do you think I pushed Lindsay?”
Matthew gave Ste a cold look and said inly, “I trust what I saw.

He stood up and headed for the door without saying anything else.
“Wait,” Ste called out, her voice filled with desperation.
Matthew stopped but didn’t turn to face her.
Fighting back the pain, Ste continued, “Are you really serious about the divorce? Is it because Lindsay saved you, or is there another reason? I’m giving you onest chance to be honest.

After speaking, Ste kept her eyes on Matthew, but all she could see was his back.
He stood silent and unmoving, his back turned to her, while the room fell into a heavy, eerie silence.

Sometimes, silence speaks the loudest.
A bitter smile appeared on her lips as she realized Matthew was firm in his decision to divorce.
Taking a deep breath, Ste forced herself to stay calm and said, “I understand.

This time, she didn’t wait for Matthew to reply.

Ste couldn’t understand why Matthew had changed so much.
She opened her eyes again, now clear and determined.
Realizing she no longer belonged there, Ste saw no reason to stay.
