ASHAL
The moment the words leave Demi's lips, a startled hush falls over the dining room. We could have heard a pin drop at that moment. I press my eyes shut as memories of Olivia making a similar demand merely hours ago hits me.
She keeps trying to convince me that our separation would be the best thing for the baby. Every time I walk through the front door of the penthouse, she subtly reminds me that true love could be waiting for me outside. She demands to know if I have been trying to go on dates, if I have met anyone new. It's sickening how eager she is to throw everything we once shared. It hurts to realize how easily she has moved on and how badly she wants me to move on too.
"Have you thought about it?" She had asked in between licking off some of the cake mix she was whisking. I am glad she feels stronger nowadays but it has its disadvantages. She's got too much energy to discuss uncomfortable topics with me.
