"Oh!"
Because of my movement, Dakota fell to the ground and looked at Milo. "Milo, don't blame her. I just fell by accident."
If she hadn't said that, it might have ended there, but once she did, Milo immediately stepped forward and slapped me again.
This time it was even harder. I stumbled and fell onto the sand. Milo glared at me. "Kneel and apologize to Dakota."
"Milo, did you really not see what just happened? I only pulled my hand away. I didn't push her."
Dakota stepped forward and tugged on Milo's arm. "She really didn't mean to push me."
"I didn't push you at all. Dakota, have some conscience when you speak. If you want to be with Milo, I can just step aside."
"Alia, what are you talking about? Milo and I are innocent. If you misunderstand me and give me trouble, fine, but Milo is your husband. Don't you trust him? Do you two really not even have the most basic trust between husband and wife?"
Dakota looked at me pitifully. "I've been yielding to you in every way and even speaking up for you, yet you still talk about me like this. Alia, about something you came to me for earlier, I wasn't planning to bring it up, but now I have to."
