Chapter 10

So wrong yet it feels so right

Rollo could feel the anger coming off him in hot waves, dissipating into the air around him, filling the whole room with it. He paced around between the kitchen and living areas, chewing on the edges of his fingers and nails. He felt motion sick and dizzy from all the pacing but that didn’t mean he was in the mood to stop. Whenever he did, his mind would start racing. This was the only way to keep himself somewhat calm.

Zoey had left hours ago. She’d helped him relax, but the benefits of her oral therapy had been fleeting. Soon after she’d gone, the thoughts began to creep back into his mind.

Being at home alone, stewing in his own thoughts was never a good thing, not while he was angry. He’d been free-falling for hours as he waited for Ava to return home. All he could think about was their upcoming fight. What he would say, what he would do, how he would get through to her that her obsessive behavior had to end.

Christ, he thought. Does she want a divorce? Is this her way of trying to end our marriage?

To Rollo, it seemed like it. Why the hell would she practically beg him to fuck Zoey then go and break into her apartment? It just didn’t make any logical sense. Why would she be acting like this if she didn’t want out? It was like she’d gone crazy overnight and now he was left to deal with the fallout.

Stop it, he thought. Stop thinking about it. I’ll drive myself insane and then no one will be able to save this fucking marriage.

Rollo let his hand drop away from his mouth as he continued to pace. He held his hands out to look at them. The skin all around his fingers had been chewed to a pulp and his nails were looking ragged and uneven.

Sighing, he moved into the kitchen and opened up the drawer at the very end of the counter. It was his crap drawer—the one place that Ava let him put all of his miscellaneous items. In there were his nail clippers. He grabbed them from the drawer and leaned his elbows on the countertops, slowly trimming away all the destroyed skin.

I am going crazy, he thought solemnly. Look what I’ve let Ava do to me. She’s not only destroying this marriage, but she’s destroying me as well.

From that moment on, Rollo knew what he had to do. He needed to make Ava see what she was doing to their lives—how she was tearing everything they ever loved apart—and it needed to end. Today. Now.

Rollo tossed the clippers back into the drawer and slammed it shut. The anger was coming back, stronger than ever. Everything Ava had done kept pulsing behind his eyes. It was taking over his mind. There was nothing else he could think about, even if he wanted to.

When the front door opened, Rollo found his eyes shooting to it immediately.
