JACOB POVHer answer did not make things clear, it actually made everything more confusing. The way she spoke was so calm and easy it was obvious she had already thought about how this conversation would go even before I walked into the room. I looked at her for a longer time but my mind was already thinking about what was really going on beneath the surface of our conversation. When I finally spoke I was not just reacting to what she said. I was changing the direction of the conversation."I might have to divorce Kathryn, " I said slowly. The words hung in the air between us and for the time since I came into her space she showed some reaction. Her eyebrows went up slightly. The small change in her face told me that she did not expect me to say that."Divorce?" she repeated, leaning back a little like she was thinking about what I said. "You say it like it is a plan, not something that might happen because of what's going on."I took a breath, rubbed my jaw and turned away from her

KATHRYN POVThe silence in my car was not quiet at all. It was loud. It was pressing against my chest. I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer's number again and when the phone rang once or twice and then went to that automated voice my stomach dropped."Switched off," I said quietly to myself even though I already knew that. Saying it out loud made it feel more real than I wanted it to. I looked at my phone screen hoping it would change. It did not. So I felt a fear growing inside my chest because this was not just a delay. My lawyer was absent.I leaned back in my seat. I tried to think clearly, trying not to panic. My thoughts started to go in directions I did not want to think about and then my phone rang. The sudden sound made me jump. My heart beat faster. When I looked at my phone screen I froze.It was Celine's school.That changed everything.I answered the phone away."Hello?" I said quickly, my voice a little tighter than I meant it to be. Something about the timing of th

KATHRYN POVI walked towards him, my body getting ready for something bad to happen while Iris stayed a little behind me watching and thinking carefully."How is she?" I asked him if my voice was calm. The doctor nodded a little."She is stable," he said first. That made me feel a little better even though I was still worried "it is food poisoning."Food poisoning.I looked at him. I thought about it because I was scared and now I knew what was wrong with her."She needs to rest, drink water and we need to watch her but she will be okay,” the doctor said, trying to make me feel better.I nodded slowly but my mind was already thinking about what to doFood."What did she eat?" Iris asked, his voice was calm and direct. I turned to him thinking about what happened the day before.Before I could say anything Sam came closer looking worried and let out a breath."What was the rush this morning?" he asked, sounding concerned "she could have stayed home and rested after what we ate that ni

JACOB POVThe house felt wrong the moment I stepped inside. The silence in the house was heavy. The lights were spotless on the floors. Everything in the house stood exactly where it should have been. I paused past the entrance of the house and looked around the house slowly.I called out, "Kathryn?" My voice was steady but not loud. When nobody answered, the only sound was the echo of my voice. This made me a little angry.I stepped further into the house. My movements were slow and deliberate. The sound of my shoes on the floor of the house seemed loud. A maid appeared from the hallway of the house. She stood up straight when she saw me. I asked her, "Is Kathryn back?" My tone was flat. I expected an answer.The maid hesitated. "I... I'm not sure sir." Her voice was careful. I looked at the maid not casually but with focus. The maid seemed uncomfortable. This made me think that she was not telling me the truth."What kind of answer is that?" My voice was low but sharp. I did not

IRIS POVThe moment I walked into the restaurant it was clear I was not there to eat. The way I stood made that obvious even before I said a word. The receptionist recognized me and his face lit up. His smile was not as warm as it seemed. He looked at the man standing next to me, and I could see he was not sure what to do."Afternoon, sir " he said quickly standing up straight like he was getting ready for something serious. "You're welcome... I hope everything is okay?""There is a problem " I said, my voice firm. I looked at the man next to me. "This is my lawyer " I added.The receptionist looked at us again. This time he nodded quickly. "This way sir " he said, walking out from behind the counter.As we followed him I looked around the restaurant. Everything seemed clean tables, quiet music, and nice lighting. It all felt a bit strange considering what had happened the night before. The restaurant looked untouched.We were taken to the manager's office and the man inside stood up
