🎧🎶 "Self Control - Laura Branigan"

Being divorced clearly wasn't part of the things you expected from your life... or well, ALMOST, divorced. But let's be honest, no one thinks that could happen to you. You always expect to grow old and stay with the same person you promised to love forever, until the end of time... In your case, your divorce with Joel wasn't completely finalized yet; you still had to send them to the lawyer, so they were just in process.

Fortunately, neither you nor he were making each other's lives miserable. You had agreed to do this in the most civilized way possible, for the girls...Sarah and Ellie, who were living with you and spending the following week with Joel.

The girls were fine, somehow even though the matter affected them, they were quite calm and understanding...they didn't cause problems and they still loved you as much as they loved Joel.

The process was slow, so you only had to sign and file the paperwork on the day it was due. You always put off signing it, leaving it on the desk in the entryway. You did everything but sign it. Did you miss your almost ex-husband? No, it was ridiculous.
