Each accusation lands like a punch to the gut because they contain just enough truth to be damning, I look to Iris again, desperate for her to understand,

“Iris, we can work this out. We don’t need lawyers. We can talk about this, just the two of us.”

She shakes her head slightly. “There’s nothing to talk about. You’ve made your intentions clear.”

“What intentions? I told you I love you!”

“You also thought I was a gold digger,” she replies coldly. “You kept Miles‘ test results from me. You were going to use your power and influence to take him away.“.

“No, that’s not-”

“Furthermore,” the lawyer interjects, “my client will be vacating your apartment effective immediately. She’s secured alternative housing that will provide a more stable environment for Miles during these proceedings.“.

My stomach drops. “What? Where? You can’t just take him!”

“She can and she has,” the lawyer says. “My client has already signed a lease on a new apartment. She and Miles will be moving tomorrow.”

I feel like I’m drowning, struggling to keep my head above water as every word pulls me deeper. “Iris,” I plead, ignoring the lawyer completely. “Don’t do this. Think about Miles. He’s happy in the apartment. He’s just getting settled. This will confuse him, hurt him.”

For a moment, something flickers in her eyes–pain, uncertainty, maybe even regret–but it’s quickly masked.

“What will hurt him is growing up in a home filled with lies and manipulation,” she says quietly. “I’m doing what’s best for my

son.”

“Our son,” I correct forcefully. “He’s our son, Iris. And he needs both of us.”

She doesn’t answer that.

The meeting continues for another twenty minutes, with the lawyer outlining the legal process ahead. I barely hear him, my attention fixed solely on Iris, trying to understand how we got here. How the woman I love has transformed into this cold stranger who won’t even meet my eyes.
