Chapter 1

 

Kelly walked slowly, trying to hold her composure despite the continuous ringing of the bell. She took a deep breath and then opened the door to face her visitor. 'Hello David, I wasn't expecting you, can I be of help with anything?'

David looked back at her, stunned. 'Kelly, what's going on? I have been trying to contact you for weeks on end! I was really worried about you. And all you can say now is "How can I help you?"'

'I am sorry, David, but I don't know what you want me to say. As you can see with your own eyes, I am very well.'

'Where have you been all this time?'

'I spent time with my friends; we went on a small trip.'

'And you didn't think to tell me about it?'

'Tell you where I was going? Why ever would I do that?! You don't own me! I am not your wife.' Kelly sounded unconcerned about his complaint.

'Kelly, why are you acting like this? I thought we had something special going on between us. After all that time we have spent together, I thought we were really bonding.'

'Sorry, David, but you thought wrong. Yes, we spent some time together. It was ok, even fun at moments, but now it's over. I'm bored with our relationship; I think it's time for us to now go our separate ways.'

'You bitch! I never guessed you were such a cold-hearted woman; otherwise, I would never have gotten involved with you in the first place.'
