That provoked Mitchel to another assault, only halting when Raegan rushed in, pushing him back. She then turned to Henley, concern etched on her face.
“Are you hurt, Henley?”
Despite his worse condition, Henley had ceased his attack when he heard Raegan’s words, unlike Mitchel, who seemed reluctant to stop.

The sight pained Mitchel.

Mitchel grasped Raegan’s arm, his eyes bloodshot with emotion.
“Is he truly who you want?”
Raegan was just irritated. Was that even a choice? Mitchel’s absurdity was laughable.
The notion of being in anyone’s debt irked her. Now, with Henley injured on her account, her stress multiplied.
With distinct irritation, she retorted, “Mitchel, I believed it was clear we’re done. Why continue hurting my friend?”
Having said that, she assisted Henley to his feet, preparing to head to the car.
Mitchel momentarily saw himself as a clown, the butt of his own joke.
He balled his hands into fists, noticing the reopening of his wound, now bleeding again.

His emotional turmoil and fury no longer held her gaze.
Overwhelmed by frustration, weariness, and a sense of defeat, he felt crushed by their weight.

He recognized the folly in his threat but couldn’t bear her departure with Henley.
Raegan hesitated only a moment before resuming her exit without a backward glance.
For her, their relationship had ended with the loss of their baby and their subsequent divorce.
Mitchel’s laughter broke through the tension as he mocked, “Raegan, have you longed for this? Were you two involved even before our divorce, eager to be together?”
His voice carried a bitterness tinged with envy he didn’t acknowledge.
He spat out spitefully, “You’re simply a woman I’ve left behind. If you choose to be with him, you have nothing to do with me from now on.”
Mitchel was clearly enraged.
