“And I’m steady but I’m starting to shake,
and I don’t know how much more I can take...”

Ann stood there speechless; Robin continued.
“Please don’t think I don’t care about you, I do, but you said right, I can’t have both you and Jul, and I don’t want to cheat on any of you two either, so I think it’s better for you and me to separate”.

“What?” Ann exclaimed incredulously, as tears began to cloud her eyes again. “So, what you’re suggesting is…?”
“Yes, Ann, I want a divorce”, he replied.

Ann opened her mouth to say something, but her shock was so big that nothing came out of it. Robin thought he could hear her heart breaking into pieces, he felt like a true villain, but what was done was done. Now he’d have to try to pick up those pieces and make the most dignified exit possible.

“T-the divorce?” Ann asked when she was able to recover.
“Yes”, Robin answered carefully.
“Why? Cause you don’t love me anymore?
“No, I do love you, Ann, it’s just… “
“You love her more,” Ann concluded tearfully.

“Oh, my God”, she murmured. “So that was why you wouldn’t share the bed with me, the reason why you backed away every time I came near you. You didn’t want me, but her!” She concluded through her tears.

“You should’ve told me truth then, that you no longer wanted to be with me!”
“It wasn’t like that, I -“
“Yes, it was. I didn’t understand it at the time, but it’s so obvious now!”

“Ann, believe me, I’m sorry.”
“No more than I am”, Ann replied.

Then she hurried out of the living room as she burst into tears; Robin froze for a moment, and then…

“Ann, wait!” he exclaimed, following her to the stairs; she paused for a few seconds.

But she immediately hurried up the stairs.
“Ann…” he called her again, more faintly, as she continued on her way up to the bedroom.

She rushed in without looking back, and slammed the door shut before Robin could get in as well.

“Ann…” he begged, leaning against the door, the only response was his wife’s weeping. He trembled with every sob, he knew he was breaking her heart, and it would probably be best to leave her alone, but he was running out of time and there were still some things to be cleared up. He would not leave until he and Ann were at peace.

“You take a hit now.
You feel it break down.
Make you stay wide awake.
This is how a heart breaks.”
