Chapter 73

• “It’s not all about you, Lucas!” Lucy nearly spat his name out. “I do want a divorce, but not on your terms. I don’t want to settle anything, I want to rip it out of your hands. I’m tired of you and your presumed kindness. You’re altogether far too nice. You take in people off the streets, like Henry and Amira. You associate with the servants in the house as if they were wonderful people. It’s ridiculous. They aren’t wonderful, they are hired help. We don’t need to be friends with them, we need them to do their damn jobs!”
• “I’m sorry you feel that way. I really, truly am.”
• “Yes, well, if you like them so much, then why don’t I help you become like them? That was my thought process, you know? It’s wonderful, isn’t it? I’m a very loving wife.”
