Be Careful What You Say, by Alyce Clark
That’s it. Right there. The deal breaker. The beginning of the end of their relationship. The quickness of his reply. How no thought is put into the hurtful words he’s speaking. The way he misses the tears forming in her eyes. That sting. The anger that follows… Silent, but permanent. The break that severs the ties between them. Something inside of her begins to let go. Subconsciously, she sees a future without him. Doesn’t stop him when he storms out of the room. The divorce itself doesn’t materialize for months. But this moment seals it. Be careful what you say.
说话要小心
这就是了。就在这里。决定性因素。他们关系走向终结的开始。他回应是那么的迅速，以至于他说出伤人的话语时都没有考虑。他忽视了她眼中的泪水。那刺痛。随之而来的愤怒……是无声的，但是永久的。这一瞬间断开了他们之间的纽带。她内心的某种东西开始释放。潜意识中，她看到了一个没有他的未来。当他怒气冲冲离开房间时，她没有阻止他。离婚本身要过几个月才会发生，但这一刻决定了一切。说话要小心。
