The night was cool and tranquil. Larissa retrieved a bottle of red wine from Kevan's wine cabinet and poured herself a full glass. Her two cats nestled beside her, contentedly purring with closed eyes. She took a sip of wine and gently stroked the cats. If she were to share this kind of life on the internet, countless people would probably envy her, but bitterness and loneliness still lingered within her.
The doorbell rang. It was Dylan. As he entered, he noticed the bottle of red wine on the coffee table.
"Enjoying the wine alone?" he teased.
She smiled and asked, "Care to join me?"
"Sure," he readily agreed. She got him a glass and poured half a glass of wine. They lightly clinked glasses and finished the wine in one gulp.
"Let's get to the point." Larissa smiled faintly as she took a napkin and wiped away the traces of wine from her lips.
"No rush. I came here to pick something up. I can still have a few drinks with you."
Dylan refilled their glasses, and she didn't decline. It was rare to have someone to talk to, especially when it made the room feel less bleak and desolate. After a few glasses, her consciousness began to blur.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go to Kevan's study and get something," he said. He rose to his feet and gradually disappeared from her sight. He returned shortly after and laid out a document in front of her.
...
Larissa reclined on the couch and fell into a deep slumber, intoxicated by the alcohol. The next day, she was awakened by her two cats. She experienced a splitting headache worse than staying up all night. She pressed her temples firmly, and the memories of the previous night gradually became clear.
Dylan came, accompanied her for a drink, went to Kevan's study to retrieve something, and it seemed like he even made her sign ... a divorce agreement?
She was shocked, but after she recalled what had happened, she could only muster a bitter smile. Since she had already signed it, there was no point in regretting it—it was only a matter of time. However, she needed to find a new place to live and move out as soon as possible.
