Kapitel 13: Chapter 13

“I’m hearing that you’re upset,” Eloise sobbed. “I know I’ve given you a lot of reasons to be frustrated with me. You’ve had to put up with a lot from me. But tell me what you need.”

“What?”

“Tell me what you need,” Eloise begged. “I want us to stay together. I’m willing to do whatever it takes.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping that I didn’t have to relive this moment. But as I opened my eyes again, I realized that my past wasn’t going to just magically change. June reacted in anger, recoiling from Eloise and jerking her hand away from her.

“I want to be done!” June shouted, eyes narrowed. “I don’t want to do this anymore! You’re not listening to me!”

“I’m trying to listen, Juniper. I’m trying,” Eloise sobbed.

“No, you’re not. You want to stay together, and I want a divorce.” June hopped off the seat and stomped away.
