– I’m close to you like in a cell, Ir. I don’t want to feel like I’m behind bars at forty-five and wait, thinking I’m about to die!
– Is it because of her? Because of that young one? She’s only twenty, Serёzh…
My husband said he had nothing to breathe beside me, even though I was sure: our twenty-five-year marriage is happiness.
– Call it forty, then! She is Angela’s daughter—an exact copy. A copy of my ex, whom I still love, you understand? This is my chance to start all over again!
He decided to rewrite his life, and I remain out of the boat.
For him, our marriage is a cage, and he is desperate to be free.
And I’m just an inconvenient obstacle—
something he is ready to get rid of by any means.
