“No. We’re done, Tristan.” She grabbed her purse and faced me. “Last night really brought home for me how broken we are, and I think it’s time we call it.”

“We’re not fuckin’ done, Olivia.”

“You can think that as long as you don’t make this harder than it is, okay?” she said. “Just give me some space, please.”
