Paul squeezed Nancy's wrists until she cried out in pain. "How dare you talk to me like that?" he hissed.
"I'll talk to you any way I please," Nancy replied. She was in a tremendous amount of pain, but she refused to be cowed. "You aren't even half the man that Noah is," she continued. "At least he knows how to respect people. He knows what it means to have good manners. You, on the other hand, are a Charlatan and a cad. If I could go back in time, I would not marry you. In fact, I would stay as far away from you as I possibly could! Anyway, we're both single, right? And we both have significant others. You have Michelle, so why can't I have Noah? Don't I deserve to be happy?"
When Paul heard that, he wanted to clutch her neck and shake the life out of her.
"Can't we just go our separate ways?" Nancy asked. "I can forget what you did to me and wish you and Michelle happiness. Can't you do the same for Noah and me?"
