The Incubus - Chapter 7, Scene 9

She took it worse than he hoped she would. Justin shook his head. 'I'm the only guy they trust enough to get the job done without losing the contract.'

'What about Simon? I thought you said he was good.'

'He's brilliant,' Justin said. 'But they got him working on a more important site.'

Rebecca turned her back on her husband. A tear streaked down her cheek. She closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. It was now or never. 'If you leave,' she said, 'I'm going to my parents' place, and this time I mean it.'

'That's actually a good idea,' Justin said and softly placed his hands on her shoulders. 'Getting out for a while might just be what you need at this point in time.'

'That's not what I meant,' Rebecca said and shrugged off his hands. 'If you go I'll leave. And it won't just be for a while.' She turned to face him. 'If you go, I'll leave and I will never come back.'
