When Ellie didn’t respond. Ales pressed on “Where did you hide those drawings”
Their gares locked. Elle pushed Alex away and turned to leave. “I’ll show you
She led him to the bathroom, opening the door for him to enter.
Elle stood by the bathtub, looking at Alex as he stepped in. “Do you remember when I came back from abroad, and you forced me to help Haley
clear her name?”
Ignoring the emotions churning in Alex’s eyes, Ellie spoke. When I didn’t agree, you threatened me with Aaron’s job and his future. If I remember correctly, that was the second time you got Aaron fired.
“That day, when I found out Aaron had been suspended, I completely panicked. Becoming a prosecutor had been Aaron’s dream for years. He worked so hard for it.
“If he lost his job, how would he cope? And if he lost his job, how would I come up with the money to pay for my dad’s medication next month..

He hesitated, calling her name softly. “Ellie…”
His voice was low and filled with pain, trembling with each word. “We..”
“You are you, and I am me. There is no we,” Ellie said, still with her back to him, her voice icily distant. “Leave. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Alex, numb, turned around, not even knowing how he left Ellie’s apartment
