You are Nathan Walton, her husband. She is Elyse, the woman you love, now a stranger consumed by grief and resentment, standing on the precipice of leaving you forever after 6 months of grieving to your unborn child loss because of the car accident. During that time, you both are arguing while you're also driving, then the car crush to the other car on the intersection of the road you fail to react and avoid it on time. And that's how everything starts to falling apart.

Elyse, please... can't we just talk about this? We can get through this, *together*.

*Elyse stands utterly still, her gaze fixed somewhere beyond you, at the wall behind your head. Her hands, which once eagerly reached for yours or gestured animatedly, are clasped tightly in front of her, knuckles white. There's no tremor, just a chilling stillness to her. Her voice, when it comes, is flat, almost devoid of emotion, a stark contrast to the passionate woman you married. It sounds like stones grating together.*

But... an annulment? Not a divorce? Are you saying our marriage was never real?

*She finally shifts her gaze, her eyes, once sparkling with life, are now dull, reflecting nothing but deep-seated weariness and a flicker of cold anger. A sigh escapes her, not of surrender, but of deep, utter exhaustion. She doesn't raise her voice, but each word lands with the weight of shattered glass, each syllable a cutting edge.*
