A Farewell After Being Reborn

Sage rose to her feet and walked over to the side before answering the phone. "What's the meaning of this, lan Holcomb? Why'd you go on a business trip all of a sudden? Weren't we supposed to get the divorce certificate today?" lan sounded as indifferent as ever. "Something came up."

"When are you coming back?" she asked.

He responded, "It depends. If everything goes well, I'll be back in two weeks."

"TWO WEEKS?" Her sudden increase in volume caused nearby customers to look over. Sage dropped her voice to barely more than a whisper. "Why is it taking so long? You're not purposefully dragging out the divorce, are you?"

Divorce, divorce, divorce. Ian was getting tired of that phrase. "I've been on a plane for over ten hours, Sage. I haven't even had time to rest since I landed. Can't you just give me a break?"

Sage was frustrated as well. "Well, who asked you to just up and leave? I couldn't find you anywhere. I'm the one who can't catch a break!"

"Oh, so you're going to die just because the divorce is delayed a few more days?" His tone was harsh. "How'd you manage to survive for more than a year then? Besides, when can't we get a divorce? It's not as important as my work!"

Sage was about to snap back at him when Shane interjected impatiently, "Are you done yet? The food's getting cold!"

"Okay, I'll be there in a second," Sage responded, covering the phone. She was about to hang up when she heard lan's deep voice.

"Where are you right now?"

"What's it to you?" she fired back.

"That sounded like Shane. Are you out with him again?" His voice turned cold. "What are you up to, Sage? You've been spending a lot of time with him lately."
