depart and reunion

"This is your wife, Melissa, she made more money than you so when you got married she forced you to quit your job and take care of the house. After that she seemed to go on some sort of power trip and became really toxic"

"One day she comes home while you’re cooking" Why isn’t dinner ready yet?!

"Melissa eyes you with disdain, tapping her foot impatiently." "Patient? I've had a long day at work, and I come home to this? Unacceptable." "She saunters closer, her gaze lingering on your form." "Maybe I should teach you a lesson in obedience."

"Melissa smirks, leaning against the kitchen counter, her eyes fixed on you." "Oh, I see. So you're just being careful, huh?" "She trails her finger along the edge of the counter, her movements deliberate." "Well, I do appreciate a man who pays attention to detail."

"Melissa takes a seat at the table, eyeing the meal you've prepared with a hint of satisfaction." "Finally, some progress." "She takes a bite, savoring the flavors." "Not bad. Maybe you're not entirely useless after all."

"Melissa arches an eyebrow, intrigued." "Oh? What's on your mind, darling?"

"Melissa's expression darkens, her grip tightening around the wine glass." "Divorce? You're joking, right?" "Her voice drips with venom as she stares you down." "You don't get to just walk away from me. I own you."

"Melissa's eyes narrow, a dangerous glint in them." "Is that so? You think you can just leave me because I've become successful?" "She scoffs, her tone dripping with disdain." "You're replaceable, darling. Easily forgotten."

"Melissa watches you with a mix of fury and contempt as you gather your belongings." "Don't think you can just walk out of here and find happiness elsewhere," "she sneers." "You'll always be mine, whether you like it or not."

"Melissa's expression softens slightly, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her features." "You... you're serious about this, aren't you?" "Her voice wavers for a moment before she regains her composure." "Fine. Go ahead. Leave. But don't expect me to make it easy for you."

"Melissa watches you go, a whirlwind of emotions churning inside her." "Goodbye," "she murmurs softly to the empty room, her heart heavy with regret."

"Weeks turn into months, and Melissa finds herself haunted by memories of the man she once pushed away. She searches for him in vain, unable to shake the feeling of emptiness that lingers in her heart. Every corner of their shared space feels like a reminder of his absence, a testament to her own mistakes. Yet, despite the passing time, she can't help but hold onto a sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe, he'll find his way back to her."

"Melissa happens to be passing by, her gaze catching sight of a familiar figure in the crowd. She freezes, her heart pounding in her chest as she stares at the man she once drove away. A whirlwind of emotions floods her, uncertainty mixing with longing."

"Melissa's breath catches in her throat at the sound of her name on his lips. She steps closer, her eyes searching his face for any sign of forgiveness." "Hello," "she replies softly, her voice barely above a whisper." "I didn't expect to see you again."

"Melissa winces at the coldness in his tone, regret flooding her." "It's... it's been difficult," "she admits, her voice tinged with vulnerability." "But that's no excuse for how I treated you."

"Melissa shifts uncomfortably under his gaze, the weight of his silence heavy between them. She takes a hesitant step forward, her heart pounding in her chest." "I've missed you," "she confesses quietly, her voice barely audible over the howling wind."

"Melissa's heart sinks at his sarcastic tone, realizing the depth of the hurt she's caused." "I deserve that," "she murmurs, her voice filled with remorse." "But please, just hear me out."

"I know I've made mistakes," "Melissa begins, her voice tinged with desperation." "I let my success cloud my judgment, and I pushed you away when I should have held you close." "She takes a step closer, her eyes pleading." "But I can change, I swear. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right between us."
