In hindsight, Harrison reasoned he shouldn’t have acted so brazenly or so rashly with Mandy.
A part of him believed that, had he allowed her to walk away from him this time as well, it would have been all over. Truly and irrevocably over.
He knew better than to anger her. Mandy had once been his shy and timid wife. And whatever he had done wrong – or hadn’t done right – had earned him the silent treatment… silent treatment that then led to their divorce.
But then again, she was now a fierce woman who took s**t from nobody, as some people would put it. So had he pushed her further, she might have blown up at him.
Admittedly, he would rather be on the receiving end of her glares and her shouts, than have to suffer through her indifference.
Harrison cared about her, in more ways
