"If there's anything you have to say, you can say it here." Jeremiah's eyes were stormy, and his grip on my hand tightened. "This is between us. What does it have to do with you, Eric? Let go!" Iwas caught between the two men. I could sense their tension escalating rapidly.
We were at a restaurant, and it was lunch hour. Their commotion drew the attention of several onlookers, and I didn't want to be the center I turned to Eric and said, "Please let go, Mr. Flint. He won't hurt me, and I can ensure my safety.
Plus, there are things we need to discuss." Eric's gaze was deep and unreadable as he stared at me. There seemed to be emotions that couldn't be deciphered.

"Yes!" I looked him straight in the eye and admitted to it without hesitation. make Since I was going to make clear, I might as well-expose all the I going everything painful truths.
"You stay late at work with Elsa, defend her, and take care of her when she's sick. You've done so much for her, but as your wife, wha have you done for me? You forgot my birthday and that I'm allergic to roses. When I'm unwell, all you do is tellto take my meds. Do you think I can't survive without your reminder to take my meds?
