The very day I moved into the care center, Nigel started harassing me again.

He called incessantly, but I declined every call.

When he realized I wouldn't pick up, he began bombarding me with text messages.

[Julia, where the hell are you? Don't you know I'm getting discharged today?]

[Most wives take care of their sick husbands, but you just disappear. Do you even want this marriage anymore?]

[Julia, you better come back immediately. If you apologize and take good care of me, I'll let this hospital stint slide. Otherwise, you'll regret it.]
