I've earned more than I could ever dream of, and there's no point in being greedy and asking for more." He froze. He hadn't expected Annalise to be so easily pleased or content. Had she always been like this, even while they were together? Would she have stayed if he had been a little nicer to her or showed that he cared? His heart cracked at the idea.

"Is that it? You're divorcingbecause I didn't get you flowers?" It wasn't until after the words had left his mouth that he realized Annalise wasn't asking for a divorce.
