Chapter 1
Prologue
"Oh, yeah, like you never kissed him!"
"I didn't even touch him! Like I said, I was out with Ginny at the Three Broomsticks talking about work and family! And I'd like you to know that you are just a little jerk trying to get my attention! Well, it's never going to happen because…"
She stopped in mid sentence because of the look on Ron's face. It was a look of anger, fear, and sadness mixed together, almost like Malfoy's when Harry saved him from the flames Crabbe had made and died in.
"Oh, because what? Because you love Malfoy now? Is that it?"
This time her voice was soft, almost like a whisper. "No, it's just… it's just that I… I…"
"You what?"
"I don't love you. I never have, and never will because you keep treating me like dirt. I don't even know why I married you."
"Oh, I know why. Because you didn't want to be left out in the whole marriage thing."
"No, that's not it. It's because my raging hormones kept nagging me to marry you."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh. And you keep treating me like dirt, I'm getting sick of it. If you don't want me around, we can just get a divorce."
"Oh, and then you could go and run off to that git, Malfoy!"
Now she was practically yelling again. "Don't talk about him like that! He can change! I've seen him do it!"
"Oh, so now you want to admit that you love him! Go on, admit it!"
Instead, she packed some clothes and shoes into a suitcase and said, "I'll be back for my other things."
And with that, she left.
