Claire had reached her breaking point. She pointed at the door, snatched up the cup from the nightstand, and hurled it at him. "Get out. Now!"

Ethan's eyes turned cold and hard. He was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

Claire screamed at him, her voice cracking with pure hysteria, "Get out!"

He stopped in his tracks for a second and then walked out without another word, his face icy and unreadable.
