Chapter 4

作者: Sleepless Vigil
I made a clean break.

My wardrobe of clothes, books, my father’s old photographs, and the dying pot of mint on the balcony were gone.

The only thing left behind was our wedding portrait hanging on the living room wall.

I hadn’t forgotten it.

The portrait was too bulky to dismantle.

That afternoon, George called me seventeen times.

His calls were unanswered.

George started spamming me with messages.

“Where do you live now?

“Stop this. I’ll make sure Tammy relocates to another cit

  • Safe Flight, Captain   Chapter 8

    When the final divorce decree was placed in his hands, George stared at it for a long time without moving.The clerk said, “Next.” George finally rose to his feet. We walked out of the hall, one behind the other.It was raining outside. It was just a drizzle, though. George popped his umbrella open and tilted it toward my side out of habit. I took a step back. “I’ve called a ride.” His arm froze midair. “Millie.” “Yes?” “Don’t push yourself when your stomach hurts next time.” I smiled. “I’ll see a doctor. “I’ll have all my meals on time. “I won’t sit around waiting for someone until the dinner turns sour.” George teared up. “I was awful, wasn’t I?” I said nothing. He chuckled, his head down. “You don’t have to answer. “I already know.” Raindrops pattered against the umbrella. A taxi pulled up to the curb. I opened the door to the vehicle. Out of nowhere, George stopped me. “Millie, if there ever comes a time…” I looked at him. He

    I went to the nursery with George. It wasn’t out of sympathy. I simply heard the boy’s weeping in the background. When we pulled up outside the nursery, the police were already there. Tammy sat inside the car. Locked in Tammy’s embrace, Liam looked flushed. The car windows were rolled up completely. She, phone in hand, shouted, “Get over here, George!“I’ll open the door once you come over.” George made a mad dash to the car. “Have you lost it, Tammy?” She grinned. Her face was covered in tears and snot. “How else was I supposed to get you here? “You blocked my number. “I’m suspended from being in the air because of you. “You’re trying to get back together with Millie.“What was I supposed to do?” George yelled at her, “Just open the door.” Tammy held Liam tight. “I’ll need your word. “You must promise to care for us like before. “Promise that you won’t go with her.” Liam’s voice went hoarse from all the crying. “Mommy, it’s hot. “I want

    Tammy ran into some trouble three days later. It wasn’t another one of her dizzy spells. Liam wasn’t unwell either. She leaked an audio clip into Jet Cloud’s internal staff group chat. George’s voice was icy in the recording. “Don’t ever contact me again. “Tammy, I have a wife.” “You don’t.” Tammy wailed, “You’re getting a divorce.“George, you promised to care for Liam and me forever.” “When did I say that?” “You gave your word to be our rock when Archie passed.” The audio cut off right there. The group chat blew up. Someone forwarded the clip to me. “Millie, the woman has lost it.” My gaze fell on the voice recording. There wasn’t a stir within me. Abe emerged from his office and asked, “Are you alright?” I responded, “I’m fine.” “Do you need the day off?” “I’m good.” He took a long, hard look at me. “Millie, you’re a lot tougher than I thought.” I grinned. “You learn to put up with everything when you’ve been through enough.” That

    Thirteen days into my petition for a divorce, Tammy sent me a photo. The photograph showed George sitting by Liam’s bed. He held a flight manual in his hands. Liam was fast asleep in his arms. Tammy added a caption. “He’s so caring. You just don’t know how to show vulnerability and lean on him.” I typed, “Oh.” Tammy was quick to shoot back a response. “Millie, are you honestly going to go through with the divorce?“You should know better than anyone that women are just waiting for a chance with someone like George.” After much thought, I texted back, “I wish you luck in line.” Her messages stopped there. I took a screenshot of her messages and sent them to my attorney. My attorney responded with a voice note, “Keep them safe. “If she continues to harass you, the evidence will come in handy later.” I replied, “Got it.” Just as I set my phone down, my boss, Abe Foster, tapped on my desk. “Millie, you’re coming with me to meet a client this afternoon.” I

    I made a clean break. My wardrobe of clothes, books, my father’s old photographs, and the dying pot of mint on the balcony were gone. The only thing left behind was our wedding portrait hanging on the living room wall. I hadn’t forgotten it. The portrait was too bulky to dismantle. That afternoon, George called me seventeen times. His calls were unanswered. George started spamming me with messages. “Where do you live now?“Stop this. I’ll make sure Tammy relocates to another city. “The ring incident is my fault.“Come home, Millie.” His last message was a voice note. I tapped to play it. His voice was raspy. “I just got home. “Your things are gone. “Are you honestly abandoning me?” I turned off the voice message. My phone was tossed to the side. The place I rented was tiny. It was just a one-bedroom apartment. The apartment overlooked an overpass, where the sound of cars rumbled all day long.However, I was sounder asleep here than in that hou

    Punctuality wasn’t George’s strongest suit with me. His call came through at a quarter past nine. “Tammy passed out. “I need to get her to the hospital. “Give me half an hour.” I stood in the lobby. In my hand, I clutched the ticket number. The numbers on the digital display shifted quickly. Couples emerged from the service desks. Some cried. Others had big grins on their faces. The clerk called out, “Next. Number 38.” I glanced at the ticket in my grip. It was number 39. I spoke into the phone, “I’m done waiting.” George panicked. “Millie, Tammy’s unconscious.” “Dial the emergency line.” “What did you say?” “You can always call an ambulance.” I uttered with composure, “You’re a pilot, not her personal paramedic.” He spoke in hushed tones, “Don’t say things you’re going to regret later.” Before I could say anything more, Tammy’s frail voice drifted from the line. “Just leave me, George.“Millie’s been waiting for you. She’s going to be ups
