Chapter 44 : Accepting Fate

James.

The night was supposed to be perfect, but once again, my ignorant ex-wife ruined it. It seemed, no matter what I tried to do with Becca, Allison couldn’t get it through her head that I was happy and didn’t want her.

After years of not dealing with her, the first time I take an interest in a woman like this, she acts out. Sitting in my office at my house, I chased back another glass of whiskey and looked at the clock.

It was close to 6:00 in the morning, and I still hadn’t found the courage to go see Becca. I should have followed her last night, but I couldn’t.

Becca was angry, and she had every right to be. One thing I had learned, though, is when a woman is angry, it’s better to give her space to calm down instead of constantly giving her something to be pissed off about.

So here I sat. Staring at this stupid f*cking photo on the wall in my office. I wasn’t sure why I bought it. It was gloomy and depressing, or at least I thought so.
