Mia said horrified. ***** "… You haven't slept yet?" he asked with normal intonation as if there is nothing wrong. “No,” I snapped, my voice unbroken by the storm that was brewing in my soul. “I need to tell you about something serious.” “I also want to talk to you about something important,” he said, his expression serious. “So… we need to talk.” And then the words came back, a refrain in echoes chanted again in the back of my head.

As I unrolled the paper, fresh tears came to me. “Divorce papers?” I murmured, looking him in the eye and confused.
