But thankfully, once Finn was discharged from the hospital, they could finally get divorced.
She kept imagining her life with Finnian after his divorce, and for the first time in a while, she felt a bit of relief, allowing herself to close her eyes.
The next couple of days passed quietly, and by Thursday afternoon, Finnian was finally out of the hospital. Amara, however, was feeling uneasy.
They had agreed to finalize the divorce on the day he was discharged, but after multiple failed attempts in the past, Amara was suddenly gripped by the fear that it might never succeed.
She knew she was probably just being paranoid, but she couldn't shake off the anxiety gnawing at her.
"I'll head home first. Let's meet at the city hall in two hours."
Will had come to pick up Finnian. After all, he had just been discharged and needed to rest at home and gather the necessary documents before heading to the place.
So they had a plan: Finnian and Will would head home, while Amara would return to her place, and they would meet at the city hall at the agreed time.
After saying this, Amara was about to leave when Finnian called out to her, "Wait a minute."
She stopped in her tracks, her heart tightened.
She was already nervous about the possibility of the divorce not going through, and Finnian's call made her even more apprehensive.
Turning around, she tried to maintain her composure as she asked, "Mr. Everly, is there something else?"
Finnian looked at her intently without uttering a word. Amara's anxiety, which had been at a manageable level, now spiked due to the other’s silence.
"Mr. Everly, what is it?" she asked again. "It's getting late. If there's nothing else, we should get going for the preparations."
