I felt a sting in my nose. Tears started to well up in my eyes, and I felt as if a heavy storm was pouring down in my heart.

I smiled and thanked her while Nicholas got up in silence and went out alone. Watching him leave, I felt as if everything that had happened in the past few months had been a dream. Divorce didn’t seem so daunting after
all.
I nodded and smiled. “You don’t have to come over for the drafting of our divorce agreement. Prepare it with your lawyer first and send it to me directly.
