“I left my husband because he was in love with another woman. That’s clear enough!â€Â
“You said your note told him to decide. If you’d already made up your mind, why put it that way?â€Â
“That’s not fair! Stephen had his chance! It’s over!â€Â
“You’re a grown woman about to become a mother. Think a little more about what you’re doing before you burn your bridges!â€Â
“I hate him!†Maggie burst into tears.
