I'm Second Place in My Own Marriage
Two months after the divorce, I accepted the transfer to the headquarters in Veroton.
I finally replied to the email I'd left sitting unanswered for two years with just one word, "Okay."
The new city moved fast. There were projects everywhere, and the night lights burned bright.
I moved into a small apartment by the river and started learning, all over again, how to live alone.
I learned to order the takeout I actually liked, to sleep in on weekends, to put fresh flowers by the window, and to spend my paycheck on myself first.
