Countdown to the End of Us
My wife and I were both liars. She lied to me 99 times. "I'll forget all about him, I swear." That man was her first love.
She never did forget about him.
I only lied to her one time. To get her to sign the divorce papers.
Time came to the final day of the cooling-off period.
Three hours before it was up, I packed up all my stuff and bought a flight ticket to another country.
Two hours before it was up, I cut up all my photos that had her in it, leaving only myself.
One hour before it was up, I placed the divorce papers on the table.
When she saw the papers, they drove her mad.
