“I want a divorce,” Charlie mumbled weakly as she was forced to lie there, watching as her husband slowly destroyed her will to live.

“We talked about this,” Devin said, not bothering to look up as he grabbed a handful of fake grass and tossed it in the blue Easter basket before doing the same for the yellow basket.
