I hadn’t seen Ashlyn since that day at the gym. “Don’t worry, Connor,” Phil said. “She’ll get what she deserves.” “Let’s just hope the jury finds her guilty.” As we walked into the courtroom and sat down, I looked over and saw Ellery walking towards me. I instantly stood up. “Ellery, what are you doing here?” I asked. “I wanted to be here for you, Connor.” “Baby, I’m sorry, but I don’t want you here. I don’t want you involved in this.” “It’s too late for that, Connor. I’m your wife, and whatever you’re involved in, involves me. Now if you don’t want me here, that’s too fucking bad, because I’m here to support you whether you want me to or not. So deal with it, buddy!” she exclaimed through gritted teeth. I sighed as I looked at her, shook my head, and sat down.
