The Hundredth Tear: End of Our Marriage
Rosalind was unusually quiet that night, playing the part of a devoted spouse.
It wasn't until the third course arrived that she suddenly said, "Do you know what a marriage certificate looked like, Mr. Stevenson?"
Before Peter Stevenson could even reply, Rosalind pulled ours out of her handbag and tore it into pieces in front of everyone.
"Just like this." She scattered the pieces over the table. "As long as I'm happy, I can tear it apart anytime I want."
The private room went dead silent.
A scrap of paper clung to a slice of fatty tuna, making an absurd, grotesque decoration.
