After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable An Empty Desk
Three months and some weeks had passed since the day we went baby shopping, and I still couldn't say exactly when things changed between Daniel and me.It happened slowly, so slowly that I didn't notice until one morning I woke up and realized I was no longer counting the days in dread. He drove me to work every day and had lunch brought to my desk, and in the evenings he sat on the edge of the bed with his hand on my stomach, waiting for the baby to kick. I was six months along now, and my dresses had stopped hiding anything. Last week he had asked me what name I liked, and I had answered before I could stop myself.The contract. That was the part I tried not to think about. It would end in three days, and every day that passed made it harder to remember why I had been so sure I would leave.I walked into the office a little after nine, one hand on my back, and stopped at my desk.Rachael's chair was empty.Her lamp was off and her bag wasn't on the floor, and the folders I had given
After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable Little Shoes
Emma almost said no when I told her where we were going on Saturday morning, and I couldn't blame her. For the past three weeks, ever since the dinner by the river, she had let me drive her to work, eat lunch with her, and bring her tea when she looked tired, but I could tell she was still waiting for me to go back to being the old Daniel. Every time I did something kind, I saw her look at me a little too carefully, as if she was checking whether it was real."Baby shopping?" she asked, when I opened her car door in front of the mall. "Daniel, I'm not even showing yet.""You will be soon, and I'd rather not wait until the last minute to buy things for my own child." I held out my hand, and she looked at it for a moment before she took it. That small moment made my chest feel warm in a way I didn't know how to explain. "Besides, I've already booked the store.""You booked the whole store again?""You said you don't like crowds."She rolled her eyes, but the corner of her mouth moved,
After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable Dinner for Two
Daniel was standing beside the elevator when I came out of the office at six."I booked a table for tonight," he said, taking my bag from my hand before I could stop him. "Just the two of us.""Why?" I asked, confused."Because I want to take my wife out to dinner. Is that so strange?"It was very strange. In four years, he had never taken me to dinner, not even on our wedding anniversary, and I was too surprised to answer. I wanted to say no, but a small, foolish part of me was curious. I nodded and followed him to the car, still wondering what was going on in his head.The restaurant was on the top floor of a hotel by the river, the kind of place people book months ahead. But when we walked in, the whole floor was empty except for one table by the window with candles on it. A chef in a white uniform came out to greet Daniel by name, and I stared at the empty room, then at him."Did you book the whole place?""You don't like being stared at." He pulled out my chair. "I remembered."
After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable The Café on Marlow Street
I deleted the message from my phone the next morning, then took it out of the trash and saved the photo in a folder instead. I already knew who sent it. Rachael stormed out of that restaurant with murder in her eyes, and a few hours later an unknown number sent me a picture. I wanted to show Daniel, but after the way he behaved over Mr. Hale, he would probably fire the man before asking a single question, and Rachael would simply cry and say she knew nothing.So I went downstairs and ate breakfast like nothing had happened.At lunchtime, I told Daniel I was going for a check-up with Dr. Hart. It was partly true because I had an appointment at three, but I used the back stairs and left through the side entrance, and in the taxi my heart was racing as if I was running away from something. For two weeks he had been sending soup to my desk and moving my chair closer to the window, and he never once asked why I kept pressing my hand against my side. Lying to him made me feel awful, but I

I was typing the Voss summary when Daniel stopped beside my desk. He wasn't looking at me. He was looking at the white roses sticking out of the bin."Why are my flowers in the trash?""The smell makes me nauseous.""You told me once that you like white roses.""That was four years ago. I don't like them anymore."I kept my eyes on the screen and carried on typing."Emma, look at me.""I'm busy.""I'm trying here." His voice dropped. "I'm trying to fix us. I sent flowers, I gave you a job, I moved Rachael out of the house. What more do you want me to do?"I stopped typing."I want you to stop acting like a bunch of flowers cancels four years, Daniel. You keep saying you're trying, as if I'm supposed to clap for you.""That's not what I'm saying.""Then what are you saying?"Two women from Accounting walked past with their files, slowed down when they heard us, and walked faster. I lowered my voice."I'm not doing this here.""Fine. Then answer me one thing." He folded his arms. "Why d
After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable Flowers and Thorns
There were flowers on my desk when I arrived.White roses, a dozen at least, wrapped in cream paper. A small card was tucked between the stems.For the best assistant I've ever had. D."Aww," someone said behind me, in a voice that wasn't kind. "Look at that."I turned around.Two women stood by the printer with coffee cups in their hands. One was tall, with a sharp bob. The other was shorter and wore too much perfume. I had seen them both whispering with Rachael all week."Tiffany from Marketing," the tall one said, smiling. "And this is Cora.""I know who you are.""Do you?" Cora laughed. "Because we weren't sure you knew who anyone was. You just showed up.""I showed up on Monday. You've had five days to get over it."Tiffany's smile twitched. "Those flowers are lovely. Guilt always smells nice.""Does it?" I picked up the card and slid it into my drawer. "You'd know better than me. You've been apologizing to Rachael all week."Cora's mouth fell open. "Excuse me?""You are Rachael'

***Daniel's POV***I held Rachael gently as we entered the living room. Looking up I met three shocked faces, ignoring them, I led Rachel to the sofa to sit down.The noise from the wheels of Rachael's suitcase interrupted the tension in the room."Mrs. Wilson, take Rachael's luggage

***Emma's POV***Divorce? Did I hear that right? "Who's getting a divorce?" I asked, unable to make sense of anything. Daniel's face quickly contoured in displeasure. "Don't act dumb, Emma. I know you understand what I mean." "But I really don't understand." I insisted.We stood
