I Need You To Leave
Leon stared at his wife for a few seconds in silence, unsure of what to do to make her acknowledge his presence. The fact that she spoke to Denise but refused to look in his direction was both tormenting and excruciatingly painful.
This was the first time Ella had shunned him coldly since their marriage. She had been angry at him for one or two misunderstandings in the past but not to the extent of avoiding his touch.
Although Leon tried to shield the hurt in his eyes, he couldn't stand the fact that Denise was standing beside his wife or talking to her.
He needed his wife's attention and as usual, Denise was intruding. He thought of saying something to Denise but instead looked in the direction of Tom.
Tom, who quickly understood his friend's non-verbal communication rose to his feet and slowly walked towards Denise. He wanted to give Denise ample time to bond with her bestie before separating them briefly.
