Chapter 102
The YouTuber death pushes Dom right over the edge, just like Eve knew it would.
“Eve, if the only way to keep you safe is to break up…”
He doesn’t finish the sentence.
They sit side by side on their couch. (They had two choices at IKEA, and of course they had chosen the more expensive one, because they are idiots. It already looks shabby and old.)
“You know it wouldn’t be a breakup like when we were at school,” says Eve. “It would be a divorce. ”
He flinches at the word.
“We’d have to get lawyers. Expensive lawyers.”
She’s not sure that’s true. It’s not like they have any assets.
They slump silently on the couch, looking blankly at their phones.
Suddenly Eve puts down her phone. “So what if we do divorce, I marry someone else and he ends up killing me when I’m twenty-five? Did you think about that?”
It’s a very mean thing to say because he obviously has not thought about it. His face first goes white and then red.
Dom is a very strong boy, but she’s stronger.
