"Why..." Lissy Lock felt his immovable tone, her heart plunged into the depths, "John Fame, why... why won't you let me go..."
What had she done wrong? Or was there something she hadn't done well enough?
She had explained things to Jim Fame, who had agreed to a divorce, and because of Skye Turner, he despised her deeply.
"You're so weak right now that you can't even communicate with me normally. Lissy Lock, you just want to force my hand, to divorce me. But your plan... is mistaken."
Lissy Lock was stunned.
Her hand slipped from his arm, dropping weakly, her eyes dim.
"But it was our agreement... John Fame, I don't ask for anything, I just want to... be rid of you forever."
How could he do this, deceiving her feelings, and then trampling her only desire underfoot.
The freedom she had been dreaming of...
John Fame looked at her calmly, and said, "There are many things you can't make happen just by thinking about them."
