He added, “This isn’t the right place to talk. Shall we have a proper conversation some other time?” 

Hallee’s face remained tense, but she seemed to recognize that this wasn’t the ideal setting for such a confrontation. She took a deep breath and struggled to regain her composure. 

“Fine, but I want a clear answer from you right now. What do you think about our marriage?”
