Lindsey looked down at the floor, focusing in on his hands. He fiddled with the thing that was causing all the fuss; his wedding band. He was trying to look just about anywhere but the angry face of his wife. Kristen stood in front of him, casting a gloomy shadow over him, encasing his hunched frame into darkness. Lindsey could hear their three children – Will, LeeLee and Stella – playing together outside. The sound of their carefree joy ripped Lindsey’s heart to shreds now that he had done what he had done.

Lindsey looked up in shock. Kristen sighed, covering her tired face with her hands. “Kit…” Lindsey began. “No. No, don’t you ‘Kit’ me.” “Kristen, please?” Lindsey stood up and started walking towards his wife. “No! No, Lindsey!
