So you’re kicking me out?
I didn’t say that. Nor will I make legal decisions by ear. I have a lawyer’s appointment.
His eyes stopped again on the house’s papers.
-
For the house?
-
For everything.
But it’s our house.
That’s when I heard the sentence I had never expected to hear so quickly.
“Ours.”
I smiled sadly.
— Interesting.
- What?
When we talk about marriage, the papers are just papers. When we talk about the house, suddenly it matters a lot what it says on them.
Mihai cuckoo.
It’s not the same thing.
That’s what I’m trying to explain. For you, formalities are useless only when they offer nothing to you.
He got up.
After ten years, do you really think I want to take advantage of you?
I don’t know what to think.
That hit him harder than if I’d been yelling.
- Laura…
I asked you if you wanted to be my husband. You could have said you didn’t believe in marriage. You could’ve explained what scared you. We could have talked.
