Chapter 10 - The Divorce PapersJulian met Audrey at a quiet restaurant.
No cameras.
No guests.
No wedding music.
Only two people sitting across from one another.
Audrey placed a folder on the table.
"Divorce papers."
Julian stared at them.
"You're sure?"
"No."
She looked down.
"I'm angry. I'm humiliated. And I still love you."
Julian's eyes softened.
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
"But I don't want you to stay because you feel guilty."
Audrey smiled sadly.
"For once, Julian, I'm not staying for anyone."
She pushed the folder toward him.
"I'm choosing myself."
He signed.
So did she.
