Divorce. That's the only way forward, isn't it?I'm still standing and staring mute at the photo album in my hands. It doesn't make sense. Deckard? Georgia? How...?

I had already made the statement he wanted, but he's sent me some messages I don't want to open.However, I reach for my phone and my heart skips a beat when I see that the new message is from Nicholas.Nicholas: Hey beautiful!
