Press further?
Yes
You remain silent, letting the question hang in the air until the silence becomes unbearable for her.
"I _was _married."
"Divorced?" you guess. "Why wear the ring then?"
She looks up at you with a hard gaze. "No. Not divorced."
A few seconds pass before the truth dawns on you, and your jaw drops as your heart sinks. "I--I'm sorry. I didn't meant to--" Another possibility strikes you a moment later. Your eyes widen. "Was he...also a policeman?"
The slight tightening of her jaw is all the answer you need.
You look down, unable to meet her gaze, voice quiet. "I'm sorry."
It's a few seconds before she answers. "Me too." An awkward silence greets you for a few moments before she straightens up and glances at you, waving toward the door. "Mind if I hold onto this mug for a while? Just until I finish the cider."
You feel too numb to do anything but nod.
She leaves moments later, leaving you with nothing but a gray day and overwhelming guilt.
