Wow! Author, You sure make him so dispicable that we cant help but love to hate him. Just walk away Shirley and dont look back. Everyone watching agrees, he doesnt deserve even a one word response at this point.
That was terrified. Having the person you love say those words to you must really rip your heart in two. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that something must have happened to let him think she betrayed him but regardless those words shouldn't have been spoken to the person you love.
