"Monday marks our divorce," Darwis Dawson declared firmly, his voice cold and deep. "Aside from what's outlined in the agreement, feel free to make any requests you desire." "Why such an abrupt decision?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. He replied tersely, "Kayra has returned." I knew full well who Kayra was. After a brief pause, I consented, "Very well." Darwis had been Kate's first love for 24 years, embodying the perfect husband in her eyes. He was patient, kind, and rarely caused her any concern. Despite the heartache she felt upon discovering his infatuation with another woman, Kate decided to file for divorce, hoping it would allow Darwis the chance to pursue his true love. Surprisingly, Darwis refused to go along with the plan.
