It was our eighth year of marriage when Nora told me she wanted a divorce. She was going to marry Brian Shaw, the guy she'd been pining for over the past ten years. She said it would only last six months. Once Brian got his inheritance, she'd come back and remarry me. She slid a bank card with 600,000 dollars across the table, saying it was compensation for me. I took the card and pulled out the divorce agreement I'd already prepared. "600,000 dollars isn't enough. I want 2.5 million dollars, and this house." She stared at me for a dozen seconds before picking up the pen and signing her name. She thought I was being petty. But only I knew that I was done with this marriage.
