Alix narrowed her eyes dangerously. "You've lied for the last eight years, and you're going to stand there and bleet like a bitch?"

If she'd had something in her hand, she would have thrown it straight at his head. Unfortunately, she didn't. So the best she could do was slam the study door behind her. He stepped on her last nerve. 

"I am not dragging Sophie and Luca away from everything they know, because of this, Josh. You decide what you're doing about it. I'm not going to be shouted at by you." She held her hands up in surrender and grabbed her running shoes from the box enroute to the Kitchen. Not that she ever went running..Running was just a terrible thing. As was aerobics.

"I need to to go and get the kids. Either go to the Police or make some sort of plan. Hell, join the damn Mafia for all I care." And with that, she headed for the front door. Alix's parents lived a mere ten minute walk away. 

"And if I thought you were a monster, I wouldn't be wasting my time with all of this. I'd already be gone." She paused her procession up the hall and turned to look at him. "You are really starting to piss me off."
