Beyond the Divorce
The only female classmate asked, pulling me aside.
Her name was Edith, and she got along well with Ivanna during our school days. She was not at the last gathering.
"She had something going on today, so she couldn't make it and was quite anxious!" I explained, then asked her, "Edith, why didn't I see you last time?"
"I was on a business trip and just returned a few days ago. Theo arranged this, so I can't miss it. If it was Michelle, I could forgo it. They also said that no one would’ve gone if it weren't because you were attending last time."
