Heartbroken

Several weeks passed by and i heard nothing from anyone. i was falling back into my normal routine before all of this mess had started and was beginning to get comfortable. i was on the way home from work and passed in front of beth's. there was a u-haul truck in the drive way with the tail gate down. as i slowed down, i saw lance walk down the ramp. he waved and motioned for me to stop. i lowered the window as he walked up.

"hey brother-in-law.", he said with a smile.

"hey, lance. what's up ?", i asked.

"aw, nothing much. beth kicked me out for good this time.", he laughed.

"oh man, i am sorry to hear that. what happened ?", i inquired.

"heck, i don't know. i was being good this time. but i don't blame her, she deserves way better then me. it's been coming for a long time. we will both be happier doing our own thing.", he answered.

he went on to tell me that they were drawing up final papers to sign and he would be leaving the state to move back closer to his family. he shook my hand
