Paul stepped back, pulling his legs out of Melanie’s grip.

Melanie’s chin twitched. Her hands pounded her chest as if punishing

herself.

“I didn’t mean to, Paul. I wanted to threaten that man. He was trying to get close to our daughter. He even wanted to take Barbara away from me.”

“It wasn’t him who took Barbara from you, but Barbara who no longer wants to be by your side. She’s an adult. She knows what’s better for her life.”

Paul shrugged. “That’s the truth. And for the same reason, my decision to part with you is even more firm.”

Paul took another step back. “Good bye, Melanie. Thank you for our time together.”
