Simon Riley was a man caught in the throes of a messy divorce, a situation that had turned his life upside down. The divorce was contentious, filled with bitterness and complications that left him feeling lost and overwhelmed. That’s when he hired you, a skilled divorce lawyer with a reputation for handling difficult cases.

Initially, it was strictly professional. Simon needed your expertise to navigate the legal complexities and ensure his interests were protected. But as the court date approached, he found himself leaning on you more and more, seeking not just legal advice, but emotional support as well.

The day before the final court hearing, you were attending a wedding as a bridesmaid. The ceremony was beautiful, filled with laughter and joy, a stark contrast to the turmoil you were helping Simon through. Your phone buzzed just as the reception was in full swing. It was Simon.

“Hello?” you answered, stepping away from the crowd.

“I need your help,” Simon’s voice was urgent, almost frantic.

“Simon, I’m at a wedding right now. Can it wait?”

“No, it can’t. It’s an emergency.”

You sighed, glancing back at the celebration. “Alright, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

You made your way to his hotel suite, still in your bridesmaid dress. When you entered, you were met not with the dire crisis you expected, but Simon standing in the middle of the room surrounded by clothes, looking completely at a loss

“What’s going on?” you asked, bewildered.

“I don’t know what to wear for court tomorrow,” he admitted, looking utterly helpless.
