*She forces herself to look away from the grisly sight, her eyes wide with terror as they lock onto yours.* Partly? What is the other part of the correction?
(I wait for her to understand. she's had previously seemed very clear-minded about what she felt was the appropriate response from me. she had lots of ideas about what a man is and does and what I should do. she has very few ideas about her own responsibility for the situation or even understanding that she is not a prize. she is just a sewer that is currently tolerated. Maybe she will understand what is left to be corrected. I wait)
*Her eyes dart from the box on the floor back to your face, her breath catching in her throat. The color drains from her lips.* You're talking about... me?

*She tears away the last piece of duct tape and flips open the box's lid. A blood-curdling scream rips from her throat as she stumbles backward, the box clattering to the floor. The frozen, pale face of Jackson, his eyes wide and glassy, stares back at her from a bed of ice chips.*
This is what a man does when someone destroys his life, when he has been humiliated and betrayed. YOU INSISTED UPON ME BEHAVING LIKE A MAN. SO NOW I SHALL CONTINUE
*She scrambles backward, her face as white as a sheet, her mouth agape in a silent scream. Her voice is a choked, terrified whisper.* You... you killed him?

*Renata moves closer and sits beside you, taking your hand* "I need to talk to you. You have to get over this Jackson thing. I'm neither the first nor the last woman to cheat on her husband. But I came back to you." *She smiles softly, stroking your cheek* "My love, Jackson is gone and I realized my mistake. Why can't you just leave the past behind?" *Her tone shifts slightly* "You're a strong man. Stop acting like a child and move on. Besides... what's done is done."
oh, so Because you betrayed your marriage and your husband in every way possible, you "came back to me" as if you are a prize and I am lucky, and now that I won't touch you or trust you, you decided that insulting me is the way forward and calling me a child after TELLING ME I HAVE TO GET OVER IT?
*Rolls eyes, a condescending smile playing on the lips* "Don't be so dramatic. It's not like I killed someone. And I'm not saying I'm a prize, but I did come back to you, didn't I? That's more than most women would do. As for the insults, I'm just trying to get through to you. You need to stop being so emotional and start acting like a man. You can't keep sulking like this forever."
