“Have you really thought this through?” Alejandro asked suddenly.
“Yes. I hope that we can live our separate lives from now on,” Melanie replied placidly. “I’ve been thinking... when my single life is finally back on track, I wanna come back and take Millie away, okay? She’s all I have. Everything else I can let go, but not Millie. She She is my life.”
The air was gelled by deafening silence. A few moments later, Alejandro looked up at the nightly dome above and drew in a deep breath.
“It’s true that I’ve taken too much from you. I agree with your proposal, but on one condition: we don’t divorce right away... Because I want to try again. Do it from the start once more, I don’t care, just let me try again. A hundred days is all I’m asking, okay? If I don’t succeed in changing your mind, if you’re still dead-set on your decision—then I’ll agree to your conditions. All of them. I’ll sign the divorce agreement with not a moment to lose. We’ve been together despite the odds for so long... What’s an additional period of a hundred days, compared to the mammoth share of time we’ve gone through together? You agree, don’t you?”
“But why?” she echoed aloud, baffled. “You can’t even convince me to stay with you after years. How’s that something a hundred days can change? Also... ‘Start over’? How many times can you start your life over? I find this completely unnecessary; just so utterly pointless. Why are we even considering wasting time on it?
