“Don’t say that,” she whispers, tears falling down her cheeks. “It’s complicated.”
“Damn it, Carolina, I can do complicated.”
She looks away from me.
I pinch the bridge of my nose before moving in front of her. “What’s going on? Why are you talking to him? Seeing him?”
“Because he won’t give me a divorce!”

The text on my phone has me grinning like a child on Christmas.
James: I love you, my wife. Come over.
Wife!
That grin overtakes my face at the endearment.
Me: I thought you were busy tonight?
I asked him to have dinner at his place, but he told me he had a business dinner to attend.
James: Change of plans.
Me: Just got to my dorm. Give me an hour, and I’ll be there.
James: Turn around and come see me. I miss you, baby.
Me: Fine. Twenty minutes.
James: Is your roommate there?
Weird question.
Me: IDK?
James: Have you talked to her today?
Me: This morning. Why?
James: No reason. Hurry up and bring your cute ass here.
My dorm room door is unlocked, and I hear sobbing as soon as I walk in. Margie is collapsed on the floor, her back slumped against her bed, and her face is red and puffy when she peeks up at me.
“Margie?” I drop my bag and fall onto my knees next to her. “Are you okay?” Stupid question on my part considering she’s a crying mess.
She sniffles, mascara running down her cheeks. “Yes …”Sniffles.“No.”
My stomach flip-flops as bad thoughts rush my mind. “Did someone hurt you?”
She shakes her head.
“What then?”
