Oh he was perhaps the most infuriating person Maggie knew, had ever known. The way he was so blase with what she was saying, acting as if it was all no big deal. It was awful. He was awful. And what was worse, was she felt like crying. She hated that perhaps more than anything else. Simply put, she wanted to scream in his face but she couldn't quite find the strength to do so.
"And? And don't you think that you could perhaps a little more compassion?" she asked, glaring at him as she threw the letters away from her as if they'd been burning her fingertips holding them, "Or since I ruined your gallivanting about by asking you to marry me the best way to get back at me is by putting in some ad to that awful magazine that has already dragged our names through the mud?" She really didn't understand why he had gone that route. An affair was one thing but doing something so public, or something that could become so public... It was like a slap to the face.
Sighing, she rubbed at her temples and did everything she could to fight the tears she felt threatening to fall. "If you want to have an affair, fine," she said, unable to even look at him, "It's understandable considering the.. the circumstances. But the least you could do is do so privately." Was that really too much to ask? Even if the very idea was enough to nearly break her in two.
