Ex-Husband Forgot Ever Divorcing Me Chapter 163
MAXWELLWe told him at six.Elise had already heard the order from her lawyer. She opened the door with the face of someone who had won and still wanted a speech. Ambrose was on the rug with the truck. I sat. Monique had stayed in the car, the way Reyes said the first telling should be one parent, one sentence, no audience.“Friday you sleep at my house,” I said. “The judge said so. I’ll pick you up at six. You’ll bring the truck. Sunday I bring you back.”He looked at the truck, then at me.“Your house.”“Yes.”“The one with the gate.”“Yes. The gate will open on Friday.”He nodded, slow. Elise, in the doorway, said, “Tell him which room.”“A room with a bed. You’ll see it Friday.”Ambrose rolled the truck once. “Okay.”That was the sentence. I did the hour. Story. Unhook. At the door Elise said, “I’ll pack the bag. Don’t make him wait in the driveway like last time.”“Six. Curb. No commentary. That’s the order.”I left.Monique was quiet on the drive home. At the house we stood in t

MONIQUEThe hearing was on Thursday. We had two full days of not adding anything, and then we added the only things Reyes had already approved: the shirts, the arrival time, the rule about the hallway.Wednesday night Maxwell laid his suit on the chair in the master room he still wasn’t sleeping in. I hung the gray dress next to it. We ate soup we didn’t taste. Ambrose’s last evening had been ordinary—three days counted down to two in his version, truck, story, no new sentences about the house. Elise had stayed quiet. The log was already in the binder. There was nothing left to write until someone in Department 12 wrote an order.“Nine,” Maxwell said. “We park in the structure. We walk in together. We don’t stop if she’s in the hall.”“We don’t stop.”He looked at the dress. “If they ask you the due date.”“March. I don’t give the day unless they ask for the day.”“And if they ask whether you’ll move out to make the house available.”“I say the court has a proposal in front of it that

MAXWELLSix days.I counted them the way Monique counted them—on the kitchen calendar, in the log, in the number of evenings left before someone else decided where Ambrose slept. Six. Reyes had confirmed the binder was frozen. No new filings unless the other side invented one. Grant had not appeared again. Monique’s email about the coffee refusal was already in the file. We were in the part where the work was not adding things.Tuesday evening Ambrose counted on his fingers again and made it to six before he ran out.“Then the day,” he said.“Then the day. Tonight is the truck.”We built. He knocked the tower down and said sorry without being prompted, then looked at me to see if sorry was the right word. I said the blocks were fine. Elise stayed in the other room. She had been staying in the other room since the supplemental went in. I didn’t trust the quiet. I also didn’t break it.When I got home Monique had the gray dress on a hanger by the door, the one for Thursday.“Chelsea cal

MONIQUEGrant was waiting in the clinic parking lot when I finished at five.I saw the car before I saw him—same black sedan, same place he had used the last time he decided a workday was an invitation. I stopped on the sidewalk. He got out. No driver this time. Just him, jacket open, hands visible, the version of careful he used when he wanted something.“I’m not getting in,” I said.“I didn’t ask you to. There’s a coffee place two blocks down. Ten minutes. Then you can go home to the gate that doesn’t open.”“How do you know about the gate.”“The same way I know about the hearing next Thursday. People file things. People talk. I’m still your brother.”I should have called Maxwell. I should have called Reyes. I walked with him instead, because a scene in the clinic lot would become a different kind of filing, and because ten minutes was a number I could end.The coffee place was half empty. He ordered nothing. I ordered tea I didn’t drink.“You have eight days,” he said. “They want t

MAXWELLWednesday’s prep lasted two hours and twelve minutes.Reyes’s conference room had the binder already tabbed. Gate video on a laptop, paused before anyone pressed play. Monique sat on my right. She had worn the gray dress that did not advertise the pregnancy and did not hide it. Reyes did not comment on the dress.“We start with the existing order,” Reyes said. “Evenings and Saturday daytime. You have complied. You have logged. You have not agreed to overnight. When they say you are withholding a home, you say you are following the current order and asking the court to set any expansion. You do not say the house is unsafe. You do not say Monique is the reason. You say the first overnight should be a trial at a neutral location so the child’s schedule and the household’s schedule are not both changed on the same night.”She looked at me.“If they play the gate video, you stay still. You do not shake your head. You do not look at Elise if she is in the room. When I ask you what y

MONIQUEThe hearing was eleven days away.I counted them on the calendar in the kitchen while the coffee cooled, the way I had started counting everything—weeks, evenings, the number of times Ambrose had said “house” in Maxwell’s reports. Eleven. Reyes had sent the hearing binder outline on Sunday night. Tabs. Exhibits. The gate video on their side. Our supplemental on ours. A one-page proposed order that still named Trevor’s guest room and still refused this address. She wanted us both at her office on Wednesday for a two-hour prep. No speeches. Answers only.Maxwell came down in the clothes he wore to the office even on days he could have stayed home. He looked at the calendar, then at me.“Eleven.”“Eleven.”“Wednesday at four. I’ll move the call.”“I’ll move the patient.”He poured coffee he didn’t drink. “Elise didn’t text me this weekend. Laurel didn’t either. Derrick sent one line through his assistant: the family expects a resolution that does not involve a third party’s guest
