My Ex’s Family Threw a Party to Celebrate Getting Rid of Me, but the New Locks and Everything on the Front Lawn Ended Their Celebration Fast

Across from me, my attorney, Marcus Hale, was reviewing a packet of documents in the passenger seat of his car.

“Do I want to know?” he asked.

“No.”

“Vivian?”

“Yes.”

“Champagne?”

“Apparently.”

Marcus nodded.

“Predictable.”

We were parked two blocks from the courthouse in Marlowe City.

My divorce decree sat in a folder on my lap.

Eight years of marriage reduced to signatures, stamped copies, account numbers, and a final order restoring me to the life I had before Nolan.

Or at least what remained of it.

Marcus checked his watch.

“Do you still want to go?”

I looked toward the courthouse.
