When love turns to ashes
“What have you been up to since... the divorce?”
The way she said divorce was intentional. Like she wanted to press it against June’s skin like hot metal.
June took a deep breath. “Oh, you know,” she said with the ghost of a smile. “Travel. Work. Living life on my own terms.”
“How inspiring,” Audrey said, glancing at Larry with a wink. “Some women really struggle after losing someone like him. I mean, it’s not easy, right?”
Larry chuckled, sipping his drink.
June’s throat tightened, but she forced another smile. “It’s true some losses are blessings in disguise.”
