One Hundred Points Off, Then I'm Gone

The day Vivienne returned to the country, I created a deduction system for Holden Prescott in my phone's notes app.

Every time he ignored me, every time he hurt me, I deducted ten points.

When all 100 points were gone, I would leave him for good.

On my birthday, he claimed he had to work late, but instead had sex with Vivienne in his studio.

I stood outside the door, listening to the intimate moans and gasps inside, and calmly deducted the final ten points.

Zero points.

I turned and walked away without looking back.
