The Nineteenth Time, He Came

Synopsis

Edward bailed on our eighteenth divorce attempt. I stood outside the courthouse, phone in hand, when the usual text arrived: [Something came up. Let's do this another day.] I stared at the countdown on my phone, numb. I was done wasting time. After a long silence, I finally typed back: [Is she pregnant again? Edward, for the sake of your son and daughter, just let me go.] On our nineteenth attempt, the divorce finally went through.
