Her turn

Abi just stared up at him. Her body slowly relaxed, maybe because she finally let out her anger. Or maybe, she softened up again, hearing these words he was saying, calling himself a monster like it was a fact.

She almost reached out to hug him and tell him he wasn't a monster, that she had never seen him as a monster, but she refrained herself.

"No. I'm not scared of you," she told him almost insolently, causing him to narrow his eyes. "I just… hate… cheating, womanizing bastards…" she continued as her eyes wandered around.

"Cheating…" he echoed. "Why would you say I'm cheating?"

Abi blinked and said nothing, her brain somewhat shutting down from her slip up.

"Speak," Alex commanded.

Abi found herself in a dilemma. Oh no! How was she going to get out of this? Of course Alex wouldn't think he was cheating if he had no partner, no wife to cheat on!
