“No, that’s not it!”
Darren had only said those things that day out of jealousy.
“I just wanted…”
Natalie cut him off before he could finish. “Some things are better left unsaid. Does Marie know you’re like this? Or do you just think I look particularly stupid and easy to fool?”
Anything a man getting married tomorrow had to say to her was just disgusting.
Darren suddenly stepped forward and pulled Natalie into a tight embrace. The alcohol had stripped away his restraint.
“Natalie, how could you be easy to fool? You’re incredibly hard to win over. Nothing I do seems to work.”
In their five years of marriage, Darren had never once tried to console or please Natalie, yet he’d always thought of her as someone easy to satisfy.
But now, no matter how much he apologized, she refused to come back.
“I never thought you’d be the one to find me difficult.”
Natalie’s eyes were blank. For five years, she had been the one catering to him, taking care of his every need.
Had he ever once cared about her feelings?
“Don’t touch me!”
The smell of alcohol on him was overwhelming. Natalie shoved him away with disgust.
Darren lost his balance and stumbled, falling onto the grass.
Natalie looked down at him. “You’re drunk. You should stay put. I’ll call your wife to come get you.”
She was clearly referring to Marie.
