Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Lauren and I exchanged a knowing glance, sharing a laugh.

She whispered to me, "Why is Ivanna so chatty now?"

I couldn't help but laugh harder.

Ivanna turned around to look at us. "Are you talking about me? Are you annoyed that I'm talking too much?"

When we got in the car, I glanced outside. Oliver was standing at the doorway, looking on as we were leaving. The desolation in his eyes made me feel a twinge of pity.

However, this was out of my hands. What he did had hurt Lauren, and I didn't want to interfere with Lauren's decision.

It was a personal matter, and no third party could intervene. I had no idea how Oliver had spent the previous six months while Lauren was away. What went through his mind? Did he realize where he went wrong?

I believed Lauren would never forgive him if he didn't realize his mistakes. Even if she forgave him, I wasn't sure if I could.

Only I saw what happened before Lauren left. She had narrowly escaped death, and I could understand her pain.

I called home to let my parents know we had picked up Lauren and were on our way back. Ivanna kept complaining the whole way, questioning Lauren's whereabouts.

Lauren said, "Let's talk about something else. Tell me, how is it going with Jared? Is Trinity still making things difficult for you? I've been worried about that!"
