WOW! It was well written. The lead character had anger issues. Her boyfriend/husband had do what it takes to survive issues. He was selfish which caused him to stay focused on his battery that he took advantage of Melinda. He figured he would make it up to her after he made the deal. His money offer was quite generous, but he had damage her. The money did not give her want she wanted, His LOVE. He moved on. Sure she should have, but she had issues and His years of unhealthy behaviour towards her only added to her unstabliness. Mr. Perry did a wonderful job of showing another side of a hurt woman. Bravo!
