Arianna sighed and ran a hand over her artificial blonde hair. "I just couldn't bring myself to do it over the phone. Again, he seemed over the moon about making up with his kids. I couldn't bring myself to short live his happiness."

Alex heaved a long sigh and buried his face in his hands the moment Ellie exited his car. Bringing back his head up, he ran his left fingers through his hair.
