Chapter 14 - The Divorce

Daniel did not contest the divorce.

That hurt Emma more than she expected.

Some irrational part of her wanted him to fight.

Not legally.

Emotionally.

Instead, he signed.

No claims against her business.

No demand for support.

No attempt to recover money transferred to his family.

He agreed to repay part of what Emma had contributed over time if financially able.

Rebecca called that unusually reasonable.

Emma called it sad.

At the courthouse Daniel said:

“I spent our marriage asking you to understand my family.”

Emma looked at him.

“I should have been asking my family to understand my wife.”

Tears filled her eyes.

Too late.

May you like

But true.

Sometimes truth arriving late was still worth hearing.
