Perhaps she was wrong, perhaps Ben hadn't explicitly announced her trespasses, but it didn't change the fact that Arthur knew something to be amiss. Otherwise, why else phrase the question as he had? Melody couldn't shake the feeling that the roof was about to cave in on them, that their lies were about to begin unraveling at a frantic pace.
And then ... and then Ben mentioned divorce — the very out she'd tried to give him all those months ago, and Melody could do nothing but stand there dumbly for a second. He still thought about it, then, which was possibly how Arthur knew. Vague references could be just as telling as an outright admission, after all.
Slamming her hands down on the table, Melody heatedly asked, "why don't you tell them, then? Since that's clearly what you want? Tell them, divorce me, and forget about anything that's happened this past year." Maybe then he would finally be happy.
