“I don’t know how much more of this I can take, Taylor,” I say, unconsciously rubbing my belly. “It feels like we are constantly under attack, that I am always watching my back because the bogeyman might just jump out me at any moment.” Taylor lets out a sigh and begins to rub the bridge of his nose in agitation and I know that I need to address the elephant in the room. “I need you, Taylor. Bean needs you too. You can’t just keep shutting yourself away and burying your head in your work. I am almost at breaking-point here and we are supposed to be a team…” I trail off wondering if maybe I have gone too far. With the court case looming, Abby and Taylor find themselves at the mercy of outside forces still beyond their control. Will their new marriage survive the turbulence as the lies begin to unravel?
“Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.”
William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1
