And yet, here he was, telling me he wanted out. \u201cAre you serious?\u201d I asked, my voice shaking with disbelief. He gave me that familiar, tired smirk that used to be so endearing. \u201cCome on, Ellen, you must\u2019ve known this was coming. We\u2019ve been drifting apart for years. We both know it. I\u2019m not going to waste any more time pretending. I want a chance at living, at freedom. Maybe even find someone&#8230; someone beautiful, unlike you\u2014someone who\u2019s not just&#8230; there.
