why you’re calling.”
He fell silent.
“You left on Friday and announced that you’d return Monday. Has something changed?”
He hesitated.
“Elena thinks this whole transition may be harder on you than I made it sound.”
I immediately sat upright.
“What exactly have you told Elena about our marriage?”
There was another pause.
“I told her things between us were pretty much finished.”
My stomach tightened.
“Does she know you’re planning to return here tomorrow?”
He said nothing.
“Does she know you expect to sleep in our bedroom?”
More silence.
