Stella glanced at the calendar and marked the date in her planner.

There were still twenty-five days left in the mandatory divorce waiting period.

It felt endless—each day dragging on longer than the last.

“Stella, didn’t you promise me Rachel would take a full course of her medication? She went to pick it up today—why didn’t you give it to her?”
