“You’re insane, Hannah!”
In the shrill tone of Sadie, Hannah exited the study, not glancing back.
A text buzzed on her phone as soon as she stepped out.
It was from her bestie, Lydia Phillips.
“Seriously, Hannah, you’re skipping the Crimson Bar tonight? Marriage isn’t a meditation retreat.
You don’t have to ditch your friends because of Declan, that jerk!
Please! Heads up, Kris said he’ll flood my phone with calls if you bail.
”
Hannah replied, “Lydia, you have a point.
”
Lydia said, “Wait, what?”
Hannah shared, “I’m no longer married.

”
Declan waved his hand dismissively.
“Fine, just don’t bother me.
”
Taking this as a silent yes, Sadie cheerfully exited the room.
In the now serene study, the computer screen’s glow caught in Declan’s vacant stare.
Despite his efforts to focus, the vision of Hannah pouring water over Sadie’s head kept haunting him.
